Description

This case comes before us, by appeal, from a decree of the Circuit Court of the United States, for the Eastern District of Louisiana. It was a petition, according to the course of practice in that state, but which we consider as substantially a bill in equity, filed by the appellee, against the appellant, as executor of James Brown deceased; stating, that James and Samuel Brown had become bound for a valuable consideration, by them received, to convey to him a lot in New Orleans, by a notarial contract, bearing date the 21st of August, 1807; that he had in vain demanded of James Brown a fulfilment of his contract in relation to the lot; that said James Brown having died, and constituted the appellant his executor, by his last will, the executor had duly qualified as such, and taken upon himself the burden of its execution. And praying, that said Brown's executor might be condemned and adjudged, to convey and deliver to him, with good and valid title, the said lot, or to pay to him the value thereof; which he stated to be, at the time of filing his petition, thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars.
