Appeal from Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans; Fred. Durieve King, Judge. Action by John Legier, Jr., against Widow George H. Braughn. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtLand, J.
This is a suit for $10,000 damages for the breach of a promise or agreement to sell certain real estate in the city of New Orleans.
The defendant admits the contract as alleged, but avers that she was not the—
“entire owner of the property at the time, which fact was well known to the plaintiff, or which he was bound to know under the law, because the titles of the other owners were properly recorded.”
Defendant further avers that she has always been ready and willing to transfer to the plaintiff so much of the property described as she owns, but the plaintiff refused to accept such transfer.
