Opinion by

Mb. Justice Williams,

This is an action brought upon the express covenant in the deed conveying the freehold properties sold by A. II. Blood to the defendant. In so far as it is for the use of the holder of either of the mortgages enumerated in said deed it is properly brought, and the use plaintiff is entitled to recover so far as this record enables us to judge. We have no doubt that the defendant’s express covenant to pay, the effect of which was considered in an action between these parties in which an opinion has just been filed, ante, p. 333, may be enforced by action resting thereon brought in the name of the covenantee for the use of the holder of any one of the said mortgages. Without repeating what was said in the opinion referred to, we are satisfied that the court took too narrow a view of the effect of the cove-' nant in the deed for the freehold properties.

■ The judgment is therefore reversed and the record remitted,' so that judgment may he entered in favor of the use plaintiff for the amount due to it upon the mortgage held by it, unless other legal or equitable cause be shown to the court why such judgment should not bo entered.
