Supreme Court of North Carolina · decided 1823-06-05

From Hertford. Tliis was an action of covenant on a deed, tried before JVhs/t, Judge.

Decided 1823-06-05

*336 Hall, Judge.

¶1 I think in the present case, the, Plain tiff cannot recover. The Defendant has not entered into a covenant for seisin, in which case an action no doubt would lie, in case the Defendant had no title in the land when he conveyed it, or attempted to convey it. The present action is brought upon a covenant e< to warrant and defend the right, title and property against the daim of any person or persons whatsoever.” It is not alleged that any claim has been made, or that the Plaintiff has been in any respect disturbed in his possession. I therefore think tiiat the rule for a new trial should be discharged.

The other fudges concurred.
