1. ““Appellee assumes that appellant had actual notice of the prior deed to Hammond. There is no averment that appellant had such notice. The averment is that the deed was recorded on February 6,1913. The recording of a deed is only constructive notice and preserves the right of the grantee in such deed and does not affect the rights of the grantor and a subsequent grantee as to covenants of warranty between the parties. Mere knowledge on the part of the covenantee of facts that will constitute a breach of a covenant will not prevent a recovery for such breach. Beach v. Miller, 51 Ill. 206 ; Weiss v. Binnian, 178 Ill. 241 ; Wadhams v. Swan, 109 Ill. 46 ; note to Brown v. Taylor, (Tenn.) 4 L.R.A. (N.S.) 309; Herzog v. Marx, 202 N.Y. 1 .” 201 Ill. App. 373, 376 .”

2. ““It would have conveyed and vested the title to the coal under the land conveyed in appellant, except for the fact that the grantor had previously conveyed his title to the coal by a deed to Hammond which had been recorded. Appellee by the deed to appellant covenanted that he had an indefeasible estate in the whole of the premises described. He had devested himself of the title to the coal which constituted a part of the premises conveyed. The conveyance of the coal constituted an incumbrance on the title. Strambaugh v. Smith, 23 Ohio St. 584 .” (Emphasis added.) 201 Ill. App. 373, 377 .”
