Leak v. Colburn
Opinion
Lead Opinion
Finch, J.
The plaintiff recovered judgment declaring forfeited his agreement to sell certain real property to the defendant and restoring the plaintiff to the possession thereof.
Prior to the execution of the agreement the plaintiff had conveyed the property to the defendant for the sum of $2,200, a part of which had been paid. For reasons not material and concerning which the parties are not in agreement, the defendant reeonveyed the property to the plaintiff and the contract in question here was executed, by the terms of which the plaintiff agreed to convey the property to the defendant upon payment by the latter of $1,620.80 in installments of $15 a month, with interest at seven per cent per annum, payable annually. The agreement was dated October 19, 1917. The defendant made the payments up to and including that of July, 1918, but he paid no interest due under the contract. He claimed credit for the additional sum of $109.75 paid for the plaintiff’s benefit. This claim need be given no further consideration, however, because its allowance would leave him still in default on January 28, 1920, when the complaint was filed.
