Judge Bennett of Massachusetts, be-

in substance, that deed conveys the
fence standing on the farm, the fencing
stuff, posts, rails, etc, which had once
been used in the fence, but had been
taken down and piled up for future use
again in the same place But new fence
material, Just bought and never attached
TO the soil, will not pass. Standing trees
pass as part Of the land; SO do trees blown
or cut down and still left in the woods
where they fell, but not If cut and corded
up for sale the wood has then become
personal property. Manure in the barn

with the farmers leave, the deed would
not convey these since the buildings are
personal property and do not belong to
the land owner to convey. The real
owners thereof might move them off
although the purchaser of the farm sup
posed he was buying and paying for all
the buildings on it. His only remedy III
such "a case would be against the party
