1. “' “The plaintiff got what the contract assumed to convey to her. She bought the tract of land affected by . . . the mortgage. ... In common parlance she stepped into the shoes of her grantor, taking whatever assets the grantor assumed to sell, but taking them subject to the liabilities expressly encumbering them. . . . The plaintiff is not in a position to ask the court to impose upon the defendant a burden which her contract does not provide for.””
