REScRiPTS HANDED DOWN
BY Law Court in Franklin and Somer.
set County Cases.

Rescripts were handed down Wednes-
day by Judge Cornish in Franklin and
Somerset cases, as follows:
Warren S. Wilbur, in Equity, VS.. Rolla
v. Toothaker, ct al.
Rescript Cornish, ].
This is bill in equity asking the speci-
fic performance of an oral contract, al
legged to have been made in 1884 by one
John r. Toothacker for the conveyance to
the plaintiff of certain lot of wild land
in Rangeley known as the mill lot. The
plaintiff claims that the contract en-
braced three parcels, that two were con-
veyed to him by Toothaker in accordance
with the contract, but the third or mill
lot was not conveyed. One of the de-
PENDANTS Is the son of John r. TOothaker
and holds title to the lot in question, in
part by purchase from the other heirs,
but with notice of the plaintiffs claim
prior to purchase, while the other defen-
dant is the administrator of the estate
of said John r. Toothaker. -..
Held:
l. That when recorded munments of
title are assaulted by parol evidence, the
proof must be full, clear and convincing
in order to be effective.
. That the evidence here falls far short
of persuading the court that such a con-
tract as to any third parcel was ever
single witness we'll advanced in years, as
to a conversation between the plaintiff
and John r. Toothaker wherein the latter
agreed to sell the Collins farm to the
plaintiff and he says that the mill lot
was to go with the Collins farm.
Human memory is so treacherous
however, that too much reliance cannot
be placed upon the attempted recital,
however honest, of a conversation that
took place a quarter of a century ago be-
tween other parties and concerning a
matter in which the witness had, no spe-
cial interest.
The plaintiff also introduced three re-
scripts given him by John R. Toothaker
for varying amounts dated April q, 1884
January "a, 1888, and January %, 1892, ag-
gregating $7O7.45, which reckoning interest
is much less than, the $725, which the
plaintiff claims was the agreed price
eight years before, and little more than
the $500 dollars with accrued interest, as
claimed by the defendants.
The significant and persuading fact is
that on Sept. "a, 1929, John r. Toothaker
conveyed two parcels to the plaintiff and
the parties themselves evidently consid-
cred the transaction closed. The accep-
lance of the deed by the plaintiff and its
retention by him for Is years without
seeking further relief are almost con-
elusive proof that all that had been bar
gained for had been conveyed. Especially
is this true in view of the fact that John
r. Toothaker. until his death on January
IS. 1906, more than 13 years after the con-
veyance, was a near neighbor of the
plaintiff. Such silence on the part of the
plaintiff is utterly inconsistent with his
present claim, which has been withheld
until the other party to the transaction
has passed away. q
Bill dismissed with a single bill of costs
for defendants. 3--. =, -
