A vendee is entitled to crops growing on lands purchased in January under a contract providing that title would be given within thirty days from acceptance of contract and receipt of first payment with a crop mortgage as security, the vendor stating that he would not be surprised if the purchaser realized the full price of the land from the crop.</p> <p>Same (182)—Breach oe Contract—Failure to Convey Title— Damages. Where the vendor refused to convey title merely for the purpose of obtaining the crop then growing upon the land, the vendee was entitled to recover his actual damages as measured by the difference between the contract price of the land and its value as enhanced by the crop, together with the money paid on the contract and his expenses.</p> <p>Appeal (451) —Review — Harmless Error — Admission oe Evidence. Error in the admission of evidence as to the measure of damages is harmless in an action tried to the court, where the court did not consider it in fixing the damages.</p>
