Syllabus

<p>Equity — Specific performance — Abatement of purchase money.</p> <p>A purchaser of a house and lot in a city at an auction sale is not entitled to enforce by a bill in equity a conveyance of the property to himself at an abatement from the purchase money, on the ground that the auctioneer’s catalogue gave the dimensions of the lot from an old deed made before the opening of a street had diminished the size of the lot, where it appears that the catalogue gave full details of the boundary streets and the construction of the house and showed a photograph of the premises, and the purchaser does not aver that he had not seen and examined the premises, and there is no evidence of fraud or misrepresentation.</p>
