2 N.H. 300 | Superior Court of New Hampshire | 1820
delivered the opinion of the court.
There is no foundation for this action. Flanders, having George’s right in equity to redeem the land, paid to Eaton
If Harris conveyed to Flanders the mere right to redeem the land, without any covenant against incumbrances, whatever price the representations of Harris may have induced Flanders to pay for the right to redeem, Flanders is without remedy, unless the representations of Harris were fraudulent. If George conveyed the land to Harris and Russell, with a covenant against incumbrances, he may be compelled by an action in their names to pay the amount of the incum-brance. But for aught that appears in this case, he may have conveyed nothing to Harris and Russell but the mere right to redeem ; in which case it would be most manifestly unjust to compel him to furnish those who had bought the naked right to redeem, with the money necessary to redeem the land.
We are, therefore, of opinion, that the verdict must be set aside, and a new trial be granted.
