“This is a bill to be relieved against a bond and mortgage given by the plaintiff to Putnam Catlin, to secure the purchase money for a tract of land sold and conveyed by the latter to the former. The bill states that on the 17th of April 1815, the plaintiff was in possession of eighty acres of land under an improvement right; on which he had resided for several years, and made many valuable improvements. That about the time above mentioned, Putnam Catlin alleged that he had purchased the large tract which included the above eighty acres of land, of John B. Wallace, and that he would eject the plaintiff, unless he would agree to pay him a consideration for the land he possessed, averring at the same time, that the title of Wallace was indisputable.”
