delivered the opinion of the Court.
. The only question in this case is, whether or not complainant is estopped from enforcing, or has waived his vendor’s lien.
Complainant had retained an express lien on the lot for the purchase money. Williams, the debtor, who had the legal title, subject to the vendor’s lien, having died, his administrator filed his bill to have the lot sold for the payment of his intestate’s debts, the debt to complainant being among them, and the principal debt. Complainant was cognizant of the proceeding, and encouraged and aided in obtaining a decree, becoming a witness to show that the title was in the intestate.
The decree of sale was made, and at the sale complainant was present, and was the competing bidder
The cases of Barham v. Turbeville, 1 Swann, 437; and Thompson v. Dawson, 3 Head, 384, fully sustain the decree of the Chancellor, and we affirm it.
