The sale was ultra vires, and plaintiff had twelve years within which to bring his suit. We set aside the decree of the lower Appellate Court and restore that of the Munsif. Appellant will be entitled to his costs in the lower Appellate Court. There will be no costs in this Court the decree of the lower Appellate Court and restore that of the Munsif.
