2 Rawle 159 | Pa. | 1828
The opinion of the court was delivered by
— This is a clear case. Christopher Zentmyer, by articles of agreement, agreed to c.onvey to his son, Daniel, a tract of land, for the sum of six thousand dollars, with certain reserva-.
George Herbaugh is the legal assignee of Daniel Zentmyer,, and as such, he is bound to pay the rent, which is a covenant running with the land, upon the principles above-stated. It would be a matter of regret if the law were not so, as otherwise, a father would be prevented from securing a provision for himself, and at the same time advancing his children. There is no pretence, but that this was a fair family arrangement, to which the parties interested made no objection, as is manifest, by the substitution of the judgments against Daniel Zentmyer, in lieu of those which had been rendered against the father, Christopher Zentmyer.
Judgment affirmed.
