THE LAW COURT.

The following decision was sent down
from the Law court yesterday.
John S. Glidden VS.. Lizzett Korter and
Eta Glidden.
Rescript by Judge Walton. This is a
suit in equity. The plaintiff says that in
consideration of an agreement on his part
to support one Sarah j. Jones, she agreed
to convey to him her real estate, and that,
at her death, he should have all OF her
personal property, and that she died With
out having conveyed her real estate to
him; and he prays that her two daughters
who are her only heirs, and one OF whom
Is his own wife, may be compelled to
make conveyance. His wife does not re-
sist; but the other daughter, (Mrs. Korter)
does.
There is no doubt of the power OF the
court to make such decree; but to justi-
~ its exercise, the plaintiff must show
That he has clear title to the convey
ance prayed for. A doubtful or a contin-
gent title is not sufficient. 1t must be q
complete and perfected title.
We do not think the plaintiff has or ever
had such title. His right to the convey.
ance prayed for was contingent at the be-
ginning, and it has never been perfected.
His right to the conveyance prayed for
depended upon the happening of future
event, and the event has not happened.
:. The contract on which the plaintiff re-
lies is found in the conditions of bond
given by Mrs. Jones to him. The con
tract is very imperfectiy stated, and it is
not Tree from ambiguity. But we infer
from the language used that Mrs. Jones,
at least, and perhaps the plaintiff, Were
apprehensive that they might not be able
to live together pleasantly; for it was
stipulated that the deed to the plaintiff
should not be given till the expiration OF
year, and that it should not then be
given, unless they should be able to agree.
The language OF the bond is this: The
