the king against the inhabitants of hagworthingham. 1823. A. built a house on the waste of a manor by licence from the lord, resided in it two years, and then sold it to B. The latter sold it to C. for 301., but no conveyance was executed. C. resided in it five years, and paid Is. per annum rent to the lord, and then sold his interest. No adverse claim was made: Held, that although C. paid a consideration of 301. when he purchased his interest, he did not acquire by purchase an interest or estate sufficient to confer a settlement within the statute 9 G. 1, c. 7, s. 5.
