To the extent of what he actually received, the plaintiff doubtless might hold him liable upon hia covenant of seisin and title. But otherwise, the measure of hia *127liability would be the actual value of the land at the time of the conveyance. Smith v. Strong, 14 Pick. 128. Byrnes v. Rich, 5 Gray, 518. Hodges v. Thayer, 110 Mass. 286.
