Opinion

Walker, J.

In this case the judgment of the District Court must be reversed. The appellees purchased the property for which the note sued on was given at administrator’s sale. The maxim caveat emptor applies in all cases where property is purchased at administrators’ sales ; and had the title failed, the appellees would still be liable for the purchase-money.

The judgment is therefore reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
