43 Ill. App. 398

Sloane v. Wells

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided December 7, 1891

Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1891-12-07

O. H. Hoeton, Judge, presiding. Appellant made a written contract of sale to appellee of certain real property. One thousand dollars was paid down; payment of the balance was to be made in thirty days after an abstract of title made by a reputable abstract maker had been furnished and found satisfactory, and upon the delivery of a good' and sufficient warranty deed. Appellee was not satisfied with the abstract furnished and so notified appellant.

Relies on Hale v. Cravener · Derickson v. Chicago South Branch Dock Co.

Decided 1891-12-07

Waterman, P. J.

¶1The bill filed in this "case alleges that the abstract was not found satisfactory by appellee; it does not charge that the abstract was such an one as ought to have been regarded as satisfactory; nor does it set forth what the abstract contained, so that the court could determine whether it was one with which appellee ought to have been satisfied. Mor is there any showing that it is not within the power of appellant to furnish a satisfactory abstract. Mor is there any showing that, in tendering a warranty deed, there was tendered a good and sufficient title.

¶2A general consideration of the rights of vendors under contracts for the sale of real property will be found in Derickson v. Chicago South Branch Dock Co., 18 Ill. App. 531. The case of Hale v. Cravener, 128 Ill. 408, is decisive of this, and the decree of the court below dismissing the bill for want of equity is affirmed.

¶3Decree affirmed.
