Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If it is found that the defendant was not the legal owner of such estate nor had any right as tenant
or agent when the process was commenced against him, but afterward acquired a good title, or became
tenant or agent, the Attorney General shall cease further to prosecute the action; but when the defendant
proves no such title to the estate as owner or interest therein as tenant or agent, judgment shall be
rendered that the State be seized thereof, and recover rents and profits as in a civil action between
private persons.
