Harper v. . Williams
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided June 5, 1836 · Ruffin
21 N.C. 379

Harper v. . Williams

Opinion of the Court

Ruffin, Chief Justice;

We do not advert to the particular circumstances stated in the answer, on which it is insisted, that the plaintiff gave credit exclusively to his vendee personally, and that he then, or subsequently, renounced his lien; because the case must be decided against the plaintiff upon the general principle agreed on in Johnson v. Cawthorn, ante, 32. The vendor has no equitable lien, as against the vendee’s creditor, who proceeds to a sale by execution,

Per Curiam. Bill dismissed.
