Opinion,
There was highly persuasive evidence given by the plaintiff on the trial, to show that the vendee under the original articles had entirely abandoned the premises covenanted to be sold, for at least two years and probably longer than that. By the express terms of the contract the vendee stipulated that she would reside on and improve the land; would pay five hundred and twenty dollars for the land in annual payments of sixty dollars each, the whole sum bearing interest from the date of the agreement; would pay all taxes and assessments whatever; that no pine timber should be cut until three fourths of the purchase money should be paid, “ and that in case of failure to make the payments aforesaid at the times herein-before stipulated — and interest — and the taxes — or shall leave said lot of land untenanted for the term of six months at any time previous to the full payment of the sums aforesaid — the
Judgment reversed and new venire awarded.
