452 32 H. 8, CAP. 34, COVENANTS.
covenant to renew the lease at the end of the term, for a covenant with a re-
versioner to procure original letters-patent to be renewed, and the lease
itself under which the tenant holds to be confirmed absolutely for a certain
term, is of all others a covenant which more strictly and peculiarly may be
said to run with the land than any other, inasmuch as it affects the very
existence and continuance of the term itself created by the lease, per Tindal
C. J. in Simpson v. Clayton supra;18—a covenant in a grant of a water-
course to cleanse it, Holmes v. Buckley, 1 Eq. Cas. Abr. 27; see however the
criticism on this case in the note to Spencer's ease, 1 Smith Lead. Cas. 34;
—a covenant under a mining licence, granted by deed; to pay compensation
in respect of damage to the surface, Norval v. Pascoe, 34 L. J. Chan. 82;
Martyn v. Williams, 1 Hurl. & N. 817; see Muskett v. Hill, 5 Bing. N. C.
694;19—covenants against building entered into by a purchaser with the
vendor, owner of the adjoining lands, his heirs and assigns, (on which a
subsequent purchaser of parcel of such adjoining lands may sue, and the
vendor after such subsequent sale cannot release the covenantor from his
covenants,) at all events a purchaser of one of the houses with notice of
the covenants is bound in equity. Western v. Macdermot, 1 L. R. Eq. 499;
S. C. 2 L. R. Ch. App. 72,20—covenants not to carry on a particular or
offensive trade. Mayor of Congleton v. Pattison, 10 East, 136; Hodson v.
Coppard, 29 Beav. 4;20 but see Wilson v. Hart, 2 Hem. & M. 551, and such
like run with the land 21 and bind the assignee though he is not named,
though it be to the grantee, his heirs and assigns, will run with the land.
Pyle v. Gross, 92 Md. 132.
A covenant for quiet enjoyment also runs with the land. Dewar v. Good-
man, (1909) A. C. 72; (1908) 1 K. B. 94; (1907) 1 K. B. 612; Manchester
Ry Co. v. Anderson, (1898) 2 Ch. 394. Cf. Davis v. Town Cor., (1903) 1
Ch. 797; (1902) 2 Ch. 635.

Code 1911, Art. 21, secs. 72 et seq. But sec. 72 does not apply when the
covenant is made with reference to something not then in esse. Md. & Pa.
Ry. Co. v. Silver, 110 Md. 517.
is Covenant* of renewal run with the land. Banks v. Haskie, 45 Md. 207;
Bratt v. Woolston, 74 Md. 609; Hollander v. Central Co., 109 Md. 131, 158;
Woodall v. Clifton, (1905) 2 Ch. 257. But see Worthington v. Lee, 61 Md.
530, 535. But not a covenant by a sub-lessor that if he procures an exten-
sion of his term, he will extend the sub-lessee's term, since a covenant is
limited to the reversion with which it runs. Muller v. Trafford, (1901) 1
Ch. 54.
Redemption.—A covenant for redemption at the option of the lessee under
our renewable ninety-nine year leases also runs with the land and it is not
in conflict with the rule against perpetuities. Hollander v. Central Co., 109
Md. 131. See also Maughlin v. Perry, 35 Md. 352. Contra in England.
Woodall v. Clifton, (1905) 2 Ch. 257.
