Morrison Waite,
Humphrey v. Baker — Opinion of the Court
“ At the last term, on a former appeal in this case (Baker v. Humphrey, 101 U.S. 494) , we decided 'that the complainant, Baker, deposit in the clerk's office for the use of the defendant, George P. Humphrey, the sum of $25, and that Humphrey thereupon convey to Baker the premises described in the bill, and that the deed contain a covenant against the grantor's own acts, and the demands of all other persons claiming under him.' A mandate was thereupon issued to the Circuit Court to enter a decree in accordance with this decision, and carry it into effect. ”
