position where the owner may sell the
property to an innocent third party and
the buyer under the original contract be
left with only claim for damages against
the vendor, which he may or may not be
able TO enforce.
The supreme court has held purchaser
under a contract may insure the property
and enforce his contract of insurance, but
If he have no manner of interest, what is
there TO insure?
HOLMAN points out that the supreme
i court got off on the wrong foot in
case decided some five years ago, viz
Teton Hotel Co, VS.. Mannheim, an opinion
signed by four Judges.
This court seems for the first time to
have adopted as law the erroneous express
sions which had heretofore been INDUCED
in as mere dictum," says Tolman. 80, by
less than one-half of the judges of this
court, the common law was swept aside
From this point the descent into the
abyss of error was speedy and complete
"The only protection which can be
afforded TO those who would otherwise be
helpless lies in oyerruling the Mannheim
case and those based upon II and return
ing to the safe doctrine based upon the
experience Of mankind for centuries. by
which alone the purchaser under an execu-
tory contract may be protected in his
rights.
THE vendor Of real property can always
protect himself. The vendee in many, il
not most cases, is wholly unable to do so;
and Notwithstanding that the application
of this rule would. in this particular case,
cast the burden upon the vendee, yet the
rule must obtain for the protection of the
many, who are otherwise without any ade-
quate protection.
1T is high time this court should bring
itself into harmony with the settled law
of the land, as recognized and enforced
from the early days of the common law
in all Jurisdictions where the common law
obtains.
There is and can be no dispute that
the doctrine for which / am contending is
common law doctrine of long standing"
