Ep. F. McFaddin, J. (dissenting). Without lengthening this opinion by quoting authorities or the evidence, I merely state that I entertain. the following views about these' cases: (1) — Rosenthal lost his right to obtain a deed when he-failed for five months [t'o. make the rental payments. He had-joined with Rich'-in asking the Probate Court to allow him to .make the xiaynlents without prejudice. Then Rosenthal failed for five months either to make the payments or to deposit the $12,000.00 in the Registry of the Court. So I concluded that-he lost his right. (2) — Mrs. Odie Smith. Moss had a contract with Lindsey that she would' receive the upper floor of the building for her life, if. she looked after and cared for Lindsey during his life. This was a contract, and it was prior' .and superior to the Rosenthal option; and Mrs. Moss was in possession under contract when Rosenthal’s opinion came into existence. Mrs. Odie Smith Moss performed her contract, and her fights are based on that contract, rather than the will; and her rights are superior to Rosenthal’s option. Because of the views-herein expressed, I respectfully dissent.
