F. Fisher, the intestate of the administrators, who, together with the heirs of the said C. F. Fisher, are defendants in this action, sold a tract of land situate in the county of Davidson, to the defendant, A. H. March, for the sum of $3,500, and entered into a contract, covenanting to make title to said land upon the payment of the said purchase money, as follows: $1,000 to be paid within twelve months; $2,250 to be paid within two years; and the like sum of $2,250, within three years from the date of the said contract, and for which said several sums the saidfjMarch gave his notes with interest from date. That March paid the note of $1,000. That Fisher, the intestate, died in 1861,. and letters of administration was granted to the said A. H. March, Burton Craige and R. A.
