Want of Title.-Caveat Emptor.-By the rule of caveat emptor, the buyer is bound by law to take care of himself, and see that he buys after satisfying himself that there is a good title; he is bound to look not only to his own title, but to see that he is properly indemnified by the covenants in his deed of purchase; for if a deed has been once executed, unless there is an eviction by the vendor or some person claiming under him, the purchaser has no right of action against the vendor.*

Necessary Averments.—In a suit for an alleged breach of covenant for title, it is not enough to prove unsuccessful proceedings to recover possession from third parties, or even an eviction by third parties, in order to prove a breach of such covenant as against the covenantor and his representatives; such proceedings are not necessarily, though they may happen to be, binding, and the plaintiff has, in general, to prove as against the covenantor, and his representatives, not only that the plaintiff's proceedings to recover possession had been unsuccessful, or that an eviction of the plaintiff had taken place, but that such proceedings were rightfully unsuccessful, or that such eviction was rightful. In other words, he has to prove, as against the covenantor or his representatives, that the title was bad by reason of some act, or fact, covenanted against. Otherwise it would be very easy for any purchaser, who had repented of his bargain, to get up collusive proceedings, either as plaintiff or defendant, and then sue the covenantor to recover purchase-money and interest.†

Covenants which Run with the Land.-At Common law certain covenants run with the land; that is to say, the burthen and benefit of the covenants pass to the assignee of the reversion and of the term. These are: where the covenant refers to a thing in esse, parcel of the thing demised, as to keep a house on the demised premises in repair, the benefit of the covenant here passes to the assignee, although the word "assigns" does not appear in the lease; but when the covenant relates to something to be done on the land demised, as to build a fence thereon, it does not pass to the assignee.*

• The leading case on this subject is Spencer's Case, 1 Smith's L. Q. 68 et seq.
