Syllabus
<p>Vendor and Purchaser—Deed—Delivery—Passing Title — Recovery Back oe Purchase-money—Tender of Reconveyance.— When a deed of property given by a vendor describes town lots in a different block from those purchased by the vendee, and upon discovery of that fact, the vendee declines to go on with the trade, and does not take the deed, the fact that it had been actually placed in his hands does not constitute delivery of a deed for the property purchased, and the deed vested no title in the purchaser. He is not therefore bound to tender a reconveyance of the lots described in the deed before suing to recover the purchase-money paid for the property purchased to which no title was received from the vendor.</p>
