(b) It is to be observed, that a covenant of this kind will not bind the issue in tail, (see ante, s. 40, p. 363, n. (i),) nor those in remainder; and in case of their refusal to perform it, the only remedy of the purchaser will be an action on the covenant against the representatives of the vendor. It is advisable, when practicable, to obtain a demise from the vendor of another estate to a trustee upon trust to raise the purchase-money for the benefit of the purchaser, in the event of his title not being perfected within a limited time.
