Summary

William Strong Allore v. Jewell — Dissent

Meanwhile, he accepted the money the defendant had paid on account of the purchase, and he stood silently by, aserting no claim, while the defendant was making valuable improvements upon the lot, at a cost of $6,000 or $7,000, a sum about equal to the value of the property at the time of the purchase. To permit him now to assert that the sale was invalid, because the vendor was of weak mind, is to allow him to reap a profit from his own unconscionable silence and delay. I cannot think a court of equity should lend itself to such a wrong.
