Buffington v. Smith

Supreme Court of South Carolina
Buffington v. Smith, 4 S.C.L. 98 (S.C. 1806)
Waties

Buffington v. Smith

Opinion of the Court

Waties, J.,

delivered the opinion of all the judges, except Bay, J., absent, sick. The deed of assignment contains no covenant of warranty; nor does it specify any particular quantity oí interest which the plaintiff was entitled to assign ; but contains a general assignment of all her right of dower in the tract mentioned. The defendant seems to have bought her claim of dower, more or less, upon a speculation, and is not entitled in law or equity to reclaim any of the price stipulated to be paid.

New trial refused.
