Orlando Reporter: Judge Broome heard the
conclusion of the argument in the case of Mrs
Mary Il. Harvey VS. w. II. O'Neal last night
at chambers in this place. In the spring of
1888 Mrs Harvey contracted in writing with
w Il. O'Neal to purchase the elegant house
600, She paid 81 900 in cash to Mr.. O'Neal
and $500 to Messrs. Sinclair & Mills, as
agents for ONeal, as she alleged. She re-
fused to complete purchase because of the
suit of Colbert ct al against the Copeland
property and other lands, alleging that
there was cloud on the title.
O'Neal by w. II. Jewell his coun-
sell denied that the title was defective,
that they offered TO Mrs. Harvey a good war
ranty deed to the property, and bond to in
demnify her against the Colbert heirs. Mr..
ONeal further denied the agency of Sinclair
g. Mills, and asked the court TO enforce the
contract; that the court had decided against
the Colbert heirs and declared the title to the
property in question good in Mr. O'Ncal.
Counsel for Mrs. Harvey Beggs q Palmer,
insisted that as O'Neal and wife couldn't give
clear title in July, 1888 when the deed was
to have passed, the contract should be re-
sciuded and Mr.. O'Neal made to pay back the
1900 with interest to date; that it did not
matter that good title could
be made now; further, that the de-
cision of Judge Broome in Colbert suit was
not final, because the case might be appealed
to the supreme court and reversed; that
O'Ncal had over four years to clear the title
by getting quitclaim from Colbert heirs but
did not do so-that it would be giving man
benefit of his own delay and defect Of his own
title to force Mrs. Harvey to take the property
and pay the balance OF money-that she was
not bound to take "a bond of Indemnity The
