D., his heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns, in any such sale or sales, conveyance or conveyances as aforesaid, shall not in any wise be deemed or considered as essential or necessary to perfect the title of the purchaser or purchasers of the said hereditaments and premises, or any part thereof, the same being intended only for the further satisfaction of such purchaser or purchasers (a).

B., their heirs and assigns, by these presents, in manner following; (that is to say), that for and That settlor has notwithstanding any act, deed, matter, or thing whatsoever by him the said C. D. or the said E. F., or any person claiming under him, made, done, committed, or executed, or knowingly or willingly suffered to the contrary, he the said C.

(a) This covenant owes its introduction to the doubts which at one time were entertained of the validity of a conveyance under the power or trusts for sale without the concurrence of the mortgagor,-doubts which were supposed to be countenanced by the case of Croft v. Powell, Comyn's Rep. 603. These doubts, however, are now no longer entertained, and the covenant in question may be dispensed with. Clay v. Sharpe, 18 Ves. 344; App. xv. to Sugd. Vend. & Pur.; Corder v. Morgan, 18 Ves. 344. These cases have clearly established that a purchaser cannot object to the conveyance on the ground that the mortgagor does not concur, even if he covenanted with the mortgagee to join in the sale and conveyance; such a covenant being only personal to the mortgagee, a mere contract between the parties.

(b) Some practitioners introduce also a covenant for seisin (vide Form in art. xlv.); but where brevity is an object, it may be dispensed with; and indeed a covenant for further assurance is often alone inserted. Vide Form in art. lxv.
