Wofford Bond & Mortgage Co. v. Armour
Opinion of the Court
BOULDIN, Justice.
This cause was submitted on an agreed statement of facts under Code, § 6095, as amended (Acts 1931, p. 409).
The parties stipulate as the sole question to be decided the following: “Is a real estate *407 mortgagee entitled to have and recover a judgment against a remote purchaser of the mortgaged premises who assumed the mortgage debt, but whose vendor had not done so, and who is in no wise liable therefor?”
This inquiry has been decided in the affirmative in the recent case of Scott v. Wharton, 226 Ala. 601 , 148 So. 308 .
The judgment of the court below is reversed and the cause remanded on the authority of the above decision.
We may note, however, that in the present case, besides the consideration for such promise mentioned in Scott v. Wharton, supra, there was a further consideration, in that the defendant’s immediate vendor made a warranty deed, and, as a consideration for such covenant, the vendee contracted to remove the mortgage incumbrance.
Reversed and remanded.
ANDERSON, O. J., and GARDNER and FOSTER, JJ., concur.
