““It is further claimed that the court erred in allowing oral evidence to prove appellant’s title to the land on which the accident happened. The evidence of which complaint is made is as to what appellant testified to on the former trial as to his ownership of the land. The evidence was competent, it being an admission made in open court, which he is estopped to deny. Greenleaf’s Evidence, secs. 27 and 96; I Phillips on Evid. pp. 421 et seq., 432 and 459; Mason v. Park, 3 Scam. 532 ; Stribling v. Prettyman, 57 Ill. 371 -7; Hensoldt v. Town of Petersburgh, 63 Ill. 111 .””
