Where one entered into an executory contract for the purchase of land upon condition of “the title being satisfactory,” and the contract further provided, “if titles within thirty days are found unsatisfactory, and owner or agents so notified, the money paid to be returned to the purchaser,” and after investigation of the title the attorney of the vendee reported certain facts which he stated to the purchaser raised a question as to the validity of the vendor’s title, and that the question so raised was not one that could be said to be absolutely clear of doubt, but in his opinion the vendor had a good title upon which the purchaser’s possession could be successfully defended, but that, if the purchase was with a view of resale, “it is quite probable that the attorney of the proposed purchaser might with propriety take the position that there is considerable doubt about” the question, and there might be difficulty in making another sale; and thereupon the
Judgment reversed.
