The Smyrna mill property has been
sold on mortgage, and bid in by
Judge Lowell for the Springfield Saw
ings Bank of Vermont. The mortgage
was executed by G.. c. Spencer and
wife, the description being the same
as in the deed of conveyance to them,
and described as the Mt. Vernon grist
mill. Mr.. Spencer purchased and paid
for a whole interest, but the records
show only one-half interest. Sub
sequently to the purchase, and subse-
quent TO the decree of foreclosure, Geo.
secured quit claim deed
for a one-half interest from the same
party that transferred to Spencer for
the sum of 800. Hoppough, by vir-
tue of quit claim, and f. Chase, as
signee of G. c. Spencer, claim full
title to the property by virtue of a
defect in the description. The Mt.
Vernon mill was some years ago torn
down, and the present mill erected on
the same site. The claimants argue
that the mortgage stood against the
present one. The complications pro- I
mise an interesting and lengthy
course Of litigation.
