Syllabus

<p>Deed, — Tender—Production of deed — Opportunity to examine deed.</p> <p>A mere statement by an agent of a vendor of land made to the vendee that he, the agent, had in his pocket a deed executed by the vendor, without producing the deed to the vendee, and giving him an opportunity to examine it, is not a sufficient tender. Before being called upon to pay his money, the vendee is entitled to see that the conveyance is properly signed, sealed and acknowledged, and that the description of the land to be conveyed is correct.</p> <p>In such a case the vendee will not be deemed to have waived a tender, where he does not say that he will not accept a deed for the property, nor refuses in terms to pay the balance of the purchase money, or say that he could not make the payment.</p>
