Syllabus

<p>conveyances — warranty — covenant for quiet enjoyment— PAYMENT BY GRANTEE OF DELINQUENT TAXES.</p> <p>Where a grantor, instead of simply using the word “warrant” in a conveyance and leaving the statute to define what should be implied thereby, goes farther and sets out the particular thing or things which he will warrant against, he cannot be held to have intended other covenants than the one or ones thus set out. (Dunbar, C. J., dissents.)</p> <p>The payment by the grantee of taxes which were a lien upon the land at the time of the conveyance, is not a breach of a covenant for quiet enjoyment, when there is nothing to show that anything is being done by the city or county that will in any manner endanger the title of the grantee. (Dunbar, O. J., dissents.)</p>
