Opinion:
The court decided in this case that under the provisions of the Revised Statutes (1 Rev. Stat. 736, § 4), a judgment at law is not an equitable lien upon the interest of the judgment debtor in lands, under an executory contract to purchase the same; whether such lands have or have not been fully paid for, so as to entitle the vendee to an immediate conveyance to the legal estate. Order appealed from affirmed, with costs.
