Granberry v. Hawpe
Citations
- 30 Tex. 409
Syllabus
<p>Where the suit was to recover the money paid for a land certificate, it was wholly immaterial whether the warranty was general or special, or whether there had been any express covenant of warranty, if the vendor had no title, or if the certificate was spurious, or not recommended by the proper authority.</p> <p>Where the title to a land certificate failed, the measure of damages is the same as in a breach of warranty on contracts for the sale of chattels, not of lands. Unlocated land certificates are treated as chattels, and in their sale there is always an implied warranty.</p>
