THE ONLY
RECOURSE

The opinion OF the appellate division OF
the supreme court In the case OF Martha
II. Knowles OF al. VS. Edwin Knowles
Jr.. et al. which was recently heard by
tho court on demurrer WAS handed down
by Judge Douglas late yesterday.
This case or at least the controversy In
volved has been before the court for
some time. John G. Knowles being the
owner OF n burial lot in Swan Point ceme-
terry conveyed a certain specified portion
OF the same TO Edwin Knowles by his
deed In ordinary form and at the same
time Edwin Knowles executed and deliv-
cred TO John G. Knowles an instrument
saying that this deed was held as col
lateral security for the endorsement on
his note for 1900 and agreeing II the note
was paid by John G.. Knowles. Edwin
Knowles would retransfer the land.
Martha ID. Knowles, widow or John &.
Knowles paid Edwin Knowles the money
he had expended In taking care OF the
note he endorsed. She asked for the deed
back and Edwin Knowles said che should
have II IL he could find it.N
without nnding the deed, Edwin died

SET ASIDE VERDICT.

Plaintiffs got "a substantial verdict
against the son I'm an action of trespass
on the case but the appellate court set
this aside on the ground that II any ac-
ton would be maintained against EDWIN
Knowles, Jr., IL must be one OF covenant
not OF tort.
Plaintiff then made a formal demand
upon the defendants TO reconvey the land
I'm question and on the refusal TO so do
brought this action In covenant for dam
ages Defendants on demurrer raised
the point that the action would not lie.
This was only a covenant between two
persons. not I'm terms binding on their
representatives, and the question. the
court declared, was whether the common
law transmitted the duty on the one side
and the right on the other.
Judge Douglas writes the opinion OF
the court, I'm the course OF which he says:
"As viewed by the common law, the deed
divested the plaintiffs ancestor of all
title Upon its delivery the defendant =
ancestor became the absolute owner and
the plaintiffs held only conditional
agreement Of reconveyance. The plain
TINS ancestor after his conveyance owned
and the plaintiffs inherited no land from
their husband and father which was af-
fected by the covenant. His executrix
took merely the covenant as a chore In
action which bound the coventator per-
sonally but not his heirs or devisees.
There Is no privity with respect 10 this
land between the plaintiffs and the de-
fendant.
