For that the plaintiff caused to be put up to sale by public auction a certain messuage [&c.], subject to the following conditions of sale [set out the material conditions constituting the contract, which may be somewhat as follows: “that the purchaser should complete the purchase on or before the day of A. D. ; and that the seller should deduce and make a good title to the said premises, commencing with [&c.], on or before the

A. D.

day of

; and that the highest bidder should become the purchaser, and should pay a deposit of £, in part payment of the purchase-money, imme

and premises, if necessary. It has been usual to adopt the indebitatus count where every thing necessary to be done on the part of the vendor has been done. In Hallen v.

Runder, 1 Cr., M. & R. 266, the counsel said, "It has been the practice, where the possession of land sold has been given, to insert a count for land bargained and sold." Parke, B.: "There you must show an actual conveyance of the land to the defendant, and the mere act of giving possession would not be sufficient to maintain the indebitatus count.

In point of practice such a count seldom occurs, and it generally could not be sustained, because the deed of conveyance, which must be shown to pass the interest in the land, generally contains a release of the purchasemoney. ,3
