cember, 1850, contracted to pur-
chase certain land in Montgomery
County, Maryland, owned by the
Defendants which land is shown
upon a plat attached to said con-
tract and filed with the Bill; that
said plat shows Parcel Seven (7)
fronting on Georgia Avenue and
contiguous to other parcels in the
whole tract affording access to said
tract from Georgia Avenue; that
examination of title and survey of
said property revealed that De-
PENDANTS did not own said land
known as Parcel Seven and that
said whole tract therefore was not
accessible from Georgia Avenue !;
that upon discovering these facts
the Plaintiff requested Defendants
to adjust the purchase price to
reflect the difference in value of
the remaining land with out a
Georgia Avenue frontage which
the Defendants refused to do; that
the Defendants knew that access
to Georgia Avenue was a vital
part of Plaintiffs plan for devel-
opment of the land under con-
tract; that the difference in value
between the land the Defendants
can convey and the land they con-
tracted to convey is Seventy-Five
Thousand Dollars ($75,OOO.OO);
that relying upon the representa-
tons of ownership of the Defend
ants the Plaintiff has expended
large sums of money and obligated
by contract for develop
ment of said land; that the Plain
tiff is willing to accept title to the
remainder of the Defendants land
provided the contract price is re-
duced as aforesaid; that the Plain
tiff is informed and believes that
the Defendants knew or should
have known that they did not own
and fronting on Georgia Avenue
and induced the Plaintiff to enter
into said contract and to pay a
higher price than the fair market
value of said tract without access
TO Georgia Avenue by means of
such representation; and that the
Plaintiff believes that the Defend
ants may forfeit his deposit and
place said property on the market
for sale to other persons unless
enjoined by the Circuit Court for
Montgomery County.
