Head Matter:
Bowen v. Jackson.—In error.

Opinion:
TO sustain a suit for damages on a covenant to convey real estate, the plaintiff must show either a demand of a deed before the suit was commenced, or a sufficient excuse for not making the demand. Sheets v. Andrews, 2 Blackf. 274.
The covenantor's want of title is a sufficient excuse for not making such demand. Blann v. Smith, 4 id. 517.
