Hillerich (P) sued Williams (D) for specific performance of a contract to convey a house and lot, for damages from defective construction, and damages for delay in performance. Specific performance was ordered, and the case was then transferred to common law where P got a verdict of $3,318 for defective construction and $910.38 for the delay in performance. D appealed; P cannot get both specific performance and damages for the quality of the items ordered to be transferred.
