be admitted as evidence, which had been objected
to by defendants counsel. During yesterday several
witnesses were heard on both sides on the part of
the plaintiff, Messrs. @. and E. l.. Dyer, VI. K.
Coombs, J. b. ii. Smith, Hugh Carpenter, and T. j.
Fisher on the part of the defendant Messrs. Stuck
Ing, OutenXer. and Stub1-GtrInans.
This morning, Mr. Bradley, on the part Of the de-
PENDANT, maintained that there vas not a mutually
between the parties, If the vendee compelled to
produce his money within a certain time, while the
vendor was not obliged to produce the title deeds
Mr.. Cox, in reply, maintained that there was no
slipulalions that the vendor shold produce the title
deeds Within three day. or any specified thine. He
admitted that the vendce was not obliged to pay the
money, until they were produced; but he would be
compelled To fulfil the terms of the contract when
this was done. Both Of the learned counsel quoted
legal authority in support of their arguments mainly
from the proceedings of the English courts of Law:
Judge Morse raid that in all contracts of this
kind the vendor must produce a title and then the
vcndce must pay the money, but the vendor is not
Compelled TO show the deeds or until the purchase
money is paid. The vendce, OH the other hand is
not compelled to pay on n certain day, unless the
vendor il prepared to produce the title deeds In
this case no specific day was mentioned, the only
terms to he fulfilled i'm the three days were the pay
ment of one third of the purchase money, and the
delivery of negotiable for the remainder. BY
not doing SO, the purchaser failed to comply with
the terms of the agreement, and that therefore the
vendor had right to put the property up again for
sale, and sell it at the risk of the vendee.
