W. 195, 196, the El Paso Court of Civil Appeals sustained a recovery of $468 and interest thereon for breach of a covenant in a deed by plaintiffs in error to defendant in error that a certain tract of land was free of encumbrances, when it was at the date of the deed subject to a vendor’s lien for said sum of $468.
