The detriment caused by the breach of a covenant against
encumbrances in a grant of an estate in real property, is deemed to
be the amount which has been actually expended by the covenantee in
extinguishment of either the principal or interest thereof; not
exceeding in the former case a proportion of the price paid to the
grantor, equivalent to the relative value, at the time of the grant,
of the property affected by the breach, as compared with the whole;
or, in the latter case, interest on a like amount.
