Sub-title IV

In forceOfficial text

Where, however, a tenement has been sold as free and exempt from any easement or other burden, or where the warranty has been otherwise expressly promised, in such cases the buyer may demand either the dissolution of the sale or compensation, if the seller shall not cause any easement or other burden not declared in the contract to cease, even though such easement or other burden be apparent, and it be proved that it was known to the buyer at the time of the sale, unless it is clearly shown that it was not the intention of the parties to include such easement or burden in the promise of warranty.
