Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
Per Curiam.
The opinion in this case rendered by Department One is hereby approved and adopted as the opinion of the court in Bank, and the folloAving additional authorities are referred to in support of the same. (Joslyn v. Wyman, 5 Allen, 62; Stone v. Lane, 10 Allen, 74; Upton v. National Bank, 120 Mass. 153.)
Judgment and order affirmed. Rehearing denied.
Opinion of the Department:
Per Curiam.
In an action for the specific performance of a written contract to convey real estate, it is competent for the defendant to shoAV that by a subsequent paroi agreement he was to retain the title until other money than that named in the original contract (which had been loaned by him) should be repaid; and he may properly refuse to convey until such other money be repaid. (Clark v. Grant, 14 Ves. Jr. 519; Quinn v. Roath, 37 Conn. 16.) This is practically the only question involved in this case. The judgment is therefore affirmed.
