    REYNOLDS, administrator, v. CARLISLE.
    
      A purchase of land and an entry upon the -ame was not necessarily wanting in the element of good faith merely because the purchaser, with actual knowledge of the fact that his grantor was not the grantee of the State, failed to ascertain, as he might ■have done by proper inquiry, the further fact that such grantor did not hold under such grantee or his successors in title. A negligent omission to make such inquiry is consistent with good faith. Whether or not, in a given case, such a purchase was dona ficlo was a question for the jury; and a verdict finding that an entry thereunder did not originate in moral fraud will not, when supported by evidence, be disturbed.
