Broken  Contract  on  Land  Sale 
In  November.  1021,  I  sold  my  place  on 
contract.  Thebuyer  paid  $100  down  and 
was  to  pay  $30  a  month  until  April  1, 
1022 ;  then  he  was  to  pay  the  balance  on 
April  1.  and  I  was  to  give  him  the  deed 
when  I  received  full  payment.  His  law¬ 
yer  had  the  contract  recorded  on  our 
deed.  Before  April  1  the  buyer  went 
away  sick  and  died,  leaving  no  relatives 
in  this  country,  and  not  being  a  citizen 
of  the  United  litate.  The  people  he  lived 
with  do  not  want  to  let  the  contract  be 
taken  off  our  deed,  and  say  we  should 
give  them  the  money  he  paid  us,  and  a 
lawyer  wants  us  to  give  him  $100  to  take 
the  contract  off  the  deed,  so  we  can  sell 
our  property  again,  or  mortgage  it.  What 
do  you  advise?  j.  u. 
This  is  a  case  where  it  will  be  neces¬ 
sary  for  you  to  employ  an  attorney.  The 
contract  being  on  record  makes  a  cloud 
on  the  title,  aud  can  only  be  removed  by 
application  to  the  court.  n.  t. 
Copy  of  Original  Deed 
My  neighbor  has  five  acres  of  land 
(mostly  scrub  oak),  a  shack  and  barn, 
which  he  has  owned  about  20  years. 
‘Some  years  ago  he  lost  the  original  deed 
to  the  property,  and  not  being  able  to 
locate  it  he  sent  to  the  county  seat  for  a 
copy  recently,  and  received  same.  He  is 
a  poor  man.  like  myself,  and  is  desirous 
to  find  out  if  the  copy  will  be  as  good  as 
the  original  deed  to  him  in  event  of  mak¬ 
ing  his  will  or  selling  all  or  part  of  the 
property.  The  copy  is  sealed  and  signed. 
J.  N. 
If  the  original  deed  is  on  record  in  the 
county  clerk’s  office  of  your  county,  it  is 
not  necessary  that  the  owner  of  the  prop¬ 
erty  have  a  copy  of  the  deed.  It  is  conve¬ 
nient  for  him,  however,  aud  answers  his 
purpose  fully  as  well  as  the  original  deed.

Securing  Payment  from  Debtor 
A  is  a  single  man  living  alone  on  his 
father’s  farm,  operating  it  for  what  he 
gets  out  of  it,  and  owns  some  personal 
property.  B  is  a  transient  with  family 
who  goes  to  live  there  and  work  with  A 
without  any  written  agreement ;  simply 
verbal  understanding.  lie  probably  owns 
nothing,  unless  three  or  four  of  the  herd 
of  cows  which  has  been  increased  since 
he  came,  are  his.  C  sells  a  cow  to  B 
without  witness  or  writing.  Cow  to  be 
paid  for  March  S,  1923,  and  to  re¬ 
main  property  of  C  until  paid  for.  Noth¬ 
ing  paid  to  date,  but  B  writes  that  he  is 
going  to  pay.  Doubtful  if  cow  now  would 
bring  the  price  of  $33  which  was  agreed 
upon.  C  figured  that  he  could  take  the 
cow  hack  and  sell  again.  A,  disinterested 
party,  says  that  he  cannot  take  it  with¬ 
out  consent  of  B  ;  that  even  a  sheriff  can¬ 
not  take  it,  and  if  a  sheriff  tries  to  seize 
or  attach  anything,  B  will  simply  say 
that  he  owns  nothing  himself,  and  C  is 
bound  to  lose  all.  The  cow  now  has  a 
heifer  calf  a  month  old.  Is  the  status  of 
that  the  same  as  that  of  the  cow?  What 
can  C  do?  A  is  careful  to  avoid  joint 
ownership  and  would  probably  not  assist 
C  in  settlement.  l.  m.  s. 
If  you  had  no  written  agreement  by 
which  a  lien  was  given  you  on  the  cow, 
and  if  there  were  no  witness  present,  we 
believe  that  you  stand  in  no  better  con¬ 
dition  than  the  ordinary  creditor,  and  that 
your  remedy  would  be  to  sue  B.  After 
obtaining  a  judgment  you  could  attach 
the  cow  or  any  other  property  which  B 
had.  N.  T.

A  New  Hampshire  man  bought  an  or¬ 
chard  in  Georgia.  He  incorporated  it 
with  his  New  Hampshire  orchard,  under 
the  laws  of  that  State,  at  $230,000.  He 
gave  me  a  contract  to  manage  the  Georgia 
orchard  for  three  years,  November  1, 
19_i-November  1,  1923,  I  to  receive  a 
stated  salary  and  a  stated  percentage  of 
the  profits.  This  contract  was  signed  by 
him  as  president  of  the  company.  He 
also  gave  me  a  contract  to  the  effect  that 
he  would  give  me  $1,000  in  stock  each 
year,  this  contract  being  signed  by  him 
personally.  He  sold  the  Georgia  orchard 
January  1.  1923.  The  new  owner  makes 
out  that  I  was  now  under  his  employ, 
but  did  not  mention  contract.  The  pre 
vious  owner,  with  whom  I  have  the  con¬ 
tract,  makes  out  notifying  that  he  had 
sold  the  property.  He  said  he  told  the 
new  owner  what  my  monthly  salary  was 
and  that  I  was  to  receive  a  certain  per¬ 
centage  of  the  profits,  but  did  not  men¬ 
tion  the  matter  of  stock  to  him.  He  said 
he  would  attend  to  that  himself.  Tie  (the 
previous  owner)  also  said  that  very  likely 
he  would  want  to  take  me  to  his  New 
Hampshire  orchard  (“within  the  time 
limit  or  sooner”)  quoting  exact  words  in 
parenthensis.  Contract  is  to  manage  this 
orchard,  not  to  go  anywhere  he  wishes  to 
send  me.  Would  you  advise  me  what  is 
customary  in  such  a  case  as  mine? 
►should  a  new  eontract.be  drawn  up?  If 
not.  wbat  should  he  done  about  it?
