    Vanderkarr against Vanderkarr.
    NEW-YORK,
    May, 1814.
    Where there is- an express covenant in a deed, it takes away all implied covenants. A. general enant of -warranty \w a deed does not imply seisto^nor'ca'í the want of seisin in th© grantor, orthat land as,n&e.Ube assigned as a covenant of can^the^piSnatiibn^'for1 a*1 breach of the warranty, ingandprovffg a lawful eviction,
    
    THIS was an action of covenant. The declaration stated that the defendant by his deed, dated 25th April, 1810, granted, bargained, and sold to the plaintiff, all the undivided part of lot No. 120. in Van SchaicFs patent, containing, 120 acres, &c. to have and to hold, See. And covenanted, the premises, &c. to the plaintiff and his heirs and assigns, “ against all and every person or Persons lawfully claiming, or to claim, the whole or any part of the premises, &c. to warrant and defend.” The plaintiff ** x alleged, 1. That the defendant, at the time of the sealing and delivering of the deed, was not seised, &c. 2. That at the time, &c. there was not, nor is there at this day, any such land, &c. as lot No. 120. in Van SchaicFs patent, described in and by the said indenture, Sec. And so he saith, the said defendant hath not ^eP*- his covenant, Sec.
    To this declaration the defendant demurred, and assigned for causes of demurrer: 1. That in the breach first assigned by the plaintiH^ there is no breach of the covenant of warranty alleged, anc} the want of seisin or title is not within the covenant, nor a breach of it; 2. Because, in the second breach assigned, the plaintiff does not allege that he was evicted by a person having the lawful title; and, 3. Because the plaintiff puts in issue, under the covenant of warranty, the facts whether the defendant was seised, &c. and whether there was any such land as is described in the deeds at the time, &,c.
    The plaintiff joined in demurrer, and the same was submitted to the court without argument.
   Per Curiam.

The breaches assigned in the declaration are not warranted by the covenant. The only express covenant set out is a general warranty. And it is a well settled rule that all implied covenants are done away by express ones. (2 Caines’ Rep. 192.) It is unnecessary, therefore, to notice the general words in the deed; although they certainly imply no covenant of seisin. Under'the general covenant of warranty, the breaches assigned are, want of seisin, and that there is no such land as that described in the deed; neither of these are within the covenant. The former can only be properly assigned, under a covenant of seisin; and the latter amounts only to an ab legation that the grantor had no estate in the land which he undertook to sell, or that it is not truly described in the deed. These are no breaches of the covenant of warranty, according. to the decision of this court in the case of Kent y. Welch. (7 Johns. Rep. 258.) It is a well settled rule, that under a covenant of warranty, the plaintiff mu~t show a lawful eviction in order to maintain his action. (2 Johns. Rep. 4.) No eviction whatever is shown in the present case. The declaration, therefore, eannot be supported, and the defendant is entitled to judgment.

Judgment for the defendant.
