Syllabus

<p>1. Vendor’s lien—what is a waiver. Where the vendor of land conveys the same to a married woman, and takes a deed from her husband for other land, with covenants of warranty, in part payment, and the husband’s promissory note for the balance of the purchase money, this will be a waiver of his lien as vendor, and he must look to the husband alone for • payment.</p> <p>2. Estoppel — by deed. Where, a party conveys land to the wife of another, he will be estopped from questioning her title, and claiming that the husband is the owner. This will be ample recognition that the husband, in procuring the deed, was acting as his wife’s agent.</p>
