Description
Mr. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, and Mr. Burgess, of Illinois, argued the cause for the appellants. Mr. Beckwith, of Illinois, for appellees. 1. The judgment against James Herrington not having been revived against his heirs, the execution was a nullity and the sale void. 2. It is not true that J. M. Herrington got the certificate fraudulently. 3. The appellant, by his own showing, is simply a purchaser of the right to set aside a legal instrument, and has, therefore, no standing in a court of equity. 4. Adams being clothed with the legal indicia of ownership, though he was, in fact, only an agent of Stuart, had power to bind his principal. 5. Stuart ratified the act of Adams, and the subsequent attempt to repudiate it came too late. 6. On the part of the complainant this is a mere speculation; all that is really due to Stuart was tendered, and is now in court for his use. 7. The complainant cannot have the contract with Herrington rescinded without placing the appellees in statu quo, which would permit them to discharge the debt and redeem the land.
