      Contract for sale of land — Specific performance — Bight of possession.
    
    Upon a rehearing of this case, the decree ordered on the first hearing is modified so as to entitle the complainant to the possession of the land upon payment, within 60 days from July 28, 1891, of the balance of the purchase price, less the amount of the mortgage, the payment of which he assumed, with interest from said date.

    The facts are stated in the former opinion.
    
      Eaug S TerTces, for complainant.

   McGrath, J.

The question as to whether or not com- ' plainant is entitled to possession under the contract before the payment of the balance of the purchase price-is not free from doubt, but on rehearing complainant proffers payment of such balance, and. I think that the decree heretofore ordered by this Court may be so far modified as to entitle complainant to possession upon payment, within 60 days from the date hereof, of the balance of said purchase price, less the amount of the mortgage upon said premises, with interest from the date hereof.

Morse, Lono, and Grant, JJ., concurred.
