REPORT
FILED IN EASTMAN
vs.. EASTMAN CASE

| Associate Justice Leslie c. Cornish
filed Monday at the Office of the clerk
of courts of kennebec county his re-
! port as referee in the equity case OF
Frank E. Eastman Of Winthrop VS.
| Owen c. Eastman of Melrose Mass
The report sustains the bill in equity
which asked for the reconveyance OF
half interest in a cottage lot and
acook at Readfield. The report reads
as follows:
Pursuant to the foregoing Rule of
Reference I, the Referee named there
in, met the parties and their counsel
at the Court house in Augusta on Fri
day, December /, 1916, and after con-
sidering the evidence and the argu-
ments I make this as my final deter
mination and award.
l find:
1. That the defendant did loan to
the plaintiff the sum Of $125 in March,
1911, and that on March II, 1911, the
plaintiff gave to the defendant an alb
solute deed Of his undivided half
interest in certain cottage property,
set forth in the bill in equity, and
that said deed although absolute in
form was intended to be and must be
regarded as security only.
2. That at some time prior to
March. 1911, the defendant had loaned
to the plaintiff the sum of 5000; taking
no security therefor at the time. That
when the further loan Of $125 was
made, the deed was given by the
plaintiff and received by the defend
ant as security for both loans.
3. That the loan Of $125 was sub
sequently repaid by the plaintiff, but
the loan Of 5000 has not been paid
and is still a valid obligation.
4. That there is nothing due from
the plaintiff to the defendant towards
the taxes or the insurance on the
property.
s. 1 therefore award that the de-
PENDANT holds the title to the plain
tiff's half interest In the property as
security for the sum Of two hundred
dollars only, and that upon, the pay
ment or tender by the plaintiff to the
defendant Of the sum of two hundred
dollars, within ninety days from the
date Of this award, the defendant shall
reconvey said one undivided half in
terest to the plaintiff by good and sur
ficient deed. If said payment is not
made or rendered within said time,
the title in the defendant shall become
absolute.
I allow no interest on said loan be-
cause none was contemplated or
agreed upon by the parties when the
loan was made. and no demand for
payment has since been made by the
defendant.
6. The bill is therefore sustained,
but without costs, and decree can be
made in accordance with this report.
Dated December II, 1916.
