Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Heydenfeldt

HEYDENFELDT, J.

— Whatever rights the original lessees may have had to come into a court of equity to have the lease reformed, certainly no such right passed to the plain*11tiff by their simple assignment of the lease to him. He took with his eyes open, and can have no claim except to the extent given by the plain import of the terms of the lease. This view renders it unnecessary' to consider the merits of the bill.

Decree affirmed.

I concur: Murray, C. J.
