Court of Appeals of Kentucky · decided 1829-06-23

<p>If vendee receive a deed, purporting to convey no more than the title of verdor, and there is no misrepresentation or concealment, vendor cannot incur any responsibility to vendee, upon the sale.</p>

Decided 1829-06-23

Judge Kobertson

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court.

¶2This was an action on the case, for an alleged fraud by Davis, in selling lots in Sheibyville to Bowland; in which Bowland recovered a judgment. Davis had made a deed to Bow land, in which he conveyed his own title, whatever it might be, for a consideration shewn to be inadequate; and the deed declares, that Davis is not to be responsible in any event for title.

¶3It is proved, that Bowland lived in Sheibyville, and had a knowledge of the derivation of title by Davis; it is also proved, that Davis disclosed to him all the facts in relation to his title; and there is no evidence of either fraudulent representation or concealment.

¶4It is therefore, our opinion, that the court ought to have granted a new trial.

¶5Wherefore, the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded, with instructions to award a new trial.
