Farmer v. Sanders
Farmer v. Sanders
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
The first ground of reversal urged by appellants is that the Taylor Circuit Court did not have jurisdiction to afford the relief provided
. The defendants were in possession of the land as purchasers under an oral contract which they could not enforce. They were not entitled to notice to quit. They could be dispossessed only upon a rescission of the contract or sale, and upon equitable terms. The judgment exonerated them from all liability for use, occupation and waste, and required the appellees to repay to them the full sum their ancestor paid on the agreed purchase price. This was the equity of the case, and it meets and disposes of the second and third grounds relied on for a reversal.
Judgment affirmed.
