How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding buyers were not entitled to specific performance because they refused to tender the purchase price for land within the time specified by the contract, and time was of the essence
• the credibility of witnesses and the resolution of testimony is a matter peculiarly within the province of the master
• “The rule is well settled that the granting of specific performance is not a matter of absolute right, but rests in the sound or judicial discretion of the Court, guided by established principles, and exercised on a consideration of all the circumstances of each particular case.”
