Coffin v. Atkins

Opinion of the Court

Dugro, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment. The covenant in the deed of July, 1884, reads that the plaintiff will “supply the steam for heating and the hot water for the adjoining buildings on the east of the premises hereby conveyed, as now connected. ” The word “now” refers to the time of the delivery of the deed. To establish his case it became necessary for the plaintiff to show, among other things, that the supply of the steam and hot water to the premises in question was as they were connected at the time of the delivery of the deed. This he failed to do. The complaint was therefore properly dismissed. The judgment should be affirmed.

Sedgwick, 0. J., concurs in the result.
