Eaton v. Eaton
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Eaton v. Eaton, 15 Wis. 259 (Wis. 1862)
Paine
Eaton v. Eaton
Opinion of the Court
By the Court,
This suit was brought to reform a deed by compelling the grantors to affix a seal. It appears that the attempted conveyance was voluntary. It is well settled, that equity will not interfere to enforce a voluntary contract to convey. Smith vs. Wood, 12 Wis., 882. A defective attempt to make a voluntary conveyance stands upon the same grqund. Judicial tribunals act to enforce legal obligations, not to compel parties to carry into execution mere
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
