Hay v. Hunter
Hay v. Hunter
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Hay, having accepted the conveyance of Mayo, must rely on the warranty therein contained, and he cannot resist the payment of the note sued on, even if Mrs. Mayo had not relinquished her right to dower, without showing that Mayo was insolvent or a non-resident.
There was no order of survey in the case. The witnesses evidently know little or nothing about the exact location of the boundary lines of the tract of land sold by Mayo to Hall. The court could not determine from their evidence that the twenty-five acres mentioned by Hall as having been shown to him by Mayo as part of the tract, are outside of the real boundaries. The agreement between Lane & Dalton cannot prejudice Hay, even if it can be upheld. He gets in value as much land from Lane as she gets from him.
. The other defect complained of is too insignificant to be taken into consideration in a contract in which a variation of two or three acres was evidently contemplated by the parties.
Judgment affirmed.
