Description

This is an appeal from a decree of the Circuit Court for the District of Kentucky, dismissing a bill brought by the appellant against the heirs of Michael Gratz for the specific performance of a contract. Michael Gratz, who resided in Philadelphia, had purchased from John Craig, of Kentucky, a tract of land containing, by the survey, one thousand acres, for which no patent had then issued. Subsequent to this purchase, the patent issued in the name of Craig, who sold a part of the land to Keyser, and a suit had been brought in the federal Court of Kentucky by Gratz, against Craig and Keyser, to compel a conveyance of the land. Michael Gratz had, in the mean time, sold eight hundred and twenty-four acres, part of this tract, to Robert Barr.
