Court Makes Ruling Affecting Sales
of Real Estate.

Justice Wright has decided that when
real estate is offered at public auction
with a good title, the purchaser cannot
be compelled to take the property If an
examination Of title develops any cloud
or necessary litigation to clear the title
The question arose over a refusal of
Mary p. Mynsbridge to complete the pur-
charge of premises 201J 18th street on
which she had bid 1880 She asked the
return of $500 deposit because it was
discovered that a clear record title could
not be transferred by the trustee.
Attorney c. W. Owen, counsel for the
trustee. argued that tax title coupled
with adverse possession made the title
good, but Justice Wright accepted the
view of Attorney w. J. Lambert for the
purchaser that good title meant a title
free from cloud or litigation and ordered
a refund of the deposit.
