Equity will enforce specific performance of the contract for sale at the suit of the purchaser himself, or of his representatives in interest, - such interest, it must be remembered, being the right to take the estate on payment of the purchase-money; - e. g., his alienees by act inter vivos (r), or assignees in bankruptcy (s), or committees in lunacy (t), or, in case of his death, by his real or personal representatives, (according to the nature of the estate contracted for).

So, the contract for purchase will be enforced at the suit of the vendor himself, or his representatives in interest; - such interest, it must be remembered, being the right to receive the purchase-money on a conveyance being given of the estate; - e.g., his alienees by act inter vivos (u), or assignees in bankruptcy (w), or committees in lunacy (x), or, (in the case of death,) by his executors or administrators (y): so, if the contract have been entered into by a tenant for life, in due (z) exercise of a power, specific performance will, it is conceived, be decreed at the suit of a remainderman (a).

Enforced in Equity at suit of pur- chaser, or his representatives in interest; or of vendor, or his representatives in interest.
