U.S. Supreme Court

Draper v. Davis, 104 U.S. 347 (1881)

Draper v. Davis

104 U.S. 347

APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Syllabus

Although, in default of payment, a deed of trust authorizes a sale by the trustee, yet where he attempts to sell property which is subject to conflicting liens, and it is doubtful whether a part of it is covered by the deed, a court of equity has jurisdiction to restrain the sale, determine the rights of all parties, and administer the fund.

The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
