Senter v. Hill
Senter v. Hill
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court.
It is well settled as a general rule in this State, that where the purchaser of land has taken a deed with a covenant of warranty alone, and is put in possession and not evicted, a Court of Chancery will not give an injunction, or grant relief against the payment of the consideration, on the ground of defect of title. If there be no fraud in the sale, nor any eviction, the purchaser must rest on the covenants in his deed. Abbott vs. Allen, 2 Johns. Ch. R., 519; Ingram vs. Morgan & Garrett, 4 Humph., 66-68.
The Chancellor sustained the demurrer and dismissed the bill, and we affirm his decree.
