Syllabus

<p>Chancery—removing cloud upon title to land. Where the owner of land gave to another, by an instrument in writing', the exclusive sale and option of purchase thereof, for sixty days, upon certain conditions, and he, after the expiration of the sixty days, without having notified the owner of his intention to accept the purchase, and without having complied with any of the conditions upon which a sale was, by the terms of the writing, authorized, placed such instrument in writing upon record, it was proper for a court of chancery, by decree, to set aside such instrument as a cloud upon the title of the owner, upon a bill filed for that purpose.</p>
