Case, for the complainants.
S. J. Andrews, contra.

Opinion:
Bv the Court.
These notes, though not negotiable at law, so as to confer upon the assignee a right to sue in his own name, are held in equity as negotiated. The lien for the purchase money is a right of the vender, and cannot pass into other hands as an incident to the obligations, or the land, if conveyed by the «vender; Jackman v. Hallock, 1 O. R. 319; and Tiernan v. Beam, 2 O. R. 383, are conclusive on this point; so is Williams v. Roberts, 5 O. R. 35.
The bill is dismissed.
