The appéllee Brawner filed a bill against the appellant Muldon and others in the Circuit Court of Escambia County to compel the specific performance of a contract by Muldon for the purchase of a certain lot of land in Pensacola. A demurrer to the bill was filed by Muldon and' overruled. He and the other defendants then filed an answer to the bill, and a replication was filed to these answers. A master was appointed who took the testimony, and upon a final hearing a decree was entered decreeing that F. E. Brawner was entitled to a specific performance of the contract by Muldon; that there was due on the contract $8,352.38; that Brawner deliver to Muldon a good and sufficient warranty deed executed by Brawner and his wife, and deliver to Muldon possession of the lot which is described; that Muldon pay Brawner the sum of $8,352.38 that the suit be dismissed as to the other defendants without prejudice, and that F. E. Brawner have an execution against Muldon for the said sum of $8,352.38 with interest, etc. An appeal was taken by Muldon from this decree.
It appears from the testimony in the case that the lot of land for the specific performance of the sale of which this bill was filed does not belong to the complainant F. E. Brawner, but that the legal title is in C. A. Brawner, his wife. Mrs. C. A. Brawner is not a party
The decree appealed from' is reversed, at the cost of the apellee.
