Illinois Supreme Court November 10, 1881 (Higgins v. Dwen)

Mr. Justice Walker

delivered the opinion of the Court:

This was a bill for a specific performance of a contract for the sale and purchase of forty-two acres of land in Cook dounty. The vendor tendered a deed, and the purchaser was willing to receive it and pay for the land if he could obtain a perfect title, but denies that the vendor can make such a title.
