Syllabus

<p>A vendob's lien, after absolute conveyance, is not a specific absolute charge upon the property, but only an equitable right of the vendor to resort to it in case the purchase money is not paid.</p> <p>It is a right which can only be asserted by one who has parted with his property. It is the personal privilege of the vendor, given solely for his security, and is in its nature unassignable. Baum v. Grigsby (ante, 172) affirmed.</p>
