Girvln in his suit against 6 M. McCarrell, in h fll! HHRrlf® nl> °P' nion hand- Orffii-^P"l*Jfy* ( j ay j( rec t et j judK ment to be enter ua in lavor of the defendant. The suit was brought by Girvin for damages for an alleged breach of contract. Girvin made a deposit as part payment for the purchase of a plot 100 feet square at the southwest corner of Second and Woodbine streets, owned by Mr. Shearer. Later !he contends Mr. Shearer would not give him a satisfactory deed as there were building restrictions which were to be put on the plot, one of them prohibiting the erection of more than one dwellinghouse. Gir vin's plan was to use the location for an apartment house. Judge McCar rell in his opinion quotes a number of higher court decisions in which it is ruled that a purchaser of prop erty must not necessarily follow out and observe every building restric tion put in a deed when a plot is sold, and that Girvin as a result suf fered no loss and was not entitled to a verdict. The point had been re served at the trial of the case months ago and was argued later.
