¶1Suit to correct a mistake in a deed, and to compel payment of purchase-money. Judgment below, for the plaintiffs. The suit is by infant heirs, who proceed by their next friend, and by adults. The father of these heirs, sold a tract of land to Leslie, and put him in possession, which he has since continuously held. In making the deed, the land was mis-described.
¶2The appellant lays down the proposition, that Leslie was entitled to a new deed from Slushier himself, the original grantor, and that he could not be compelled to receive one from his heirs, or a commissioner. The case of Rush v. Truby, 11 Ind. 162, seems to answer this objection. If Leslie was entitled to a new deed, as was executed in this case, he was compellable to take that of a commissioner. Some of the adult heirs had attempted to resell their interest in the land, but, as Leslie was in possession as owner, claiming adversely, the alleged conveyance of the heirs was void. This fact answers another objection. Ind. Dig. 798.
¶3It is, also, objected that the judgment for costs is wrong, but no motion to tax the costs below was made.
¶4The decree below is affirmed, with costs.
