The deed rendered is sufficient in
form to convey the interest of the
plaintiff in the lot in question.
There is no suggestion that the de-
iendant was overreached, or that she
was not informed as to the status Of
the plaintiffs title, or that she had
made hard, unreasonable or uncon-
scionable bargain; nor does she plead
any equity that would entitle her to be
relieved from her contract.
The defendant, being an equal own
er with the plaintiff. must be held to
have known (and her answer contains
the admisSion) that at the time when
she agreed to purchase the plaintiff S
