Decided 1865-12-27

SAWYER, J.

¶1We have examined the evidence in this ease, and are satisfied with the finding of the court to the effect that the transaction between the plaintiff and defendant on the 30th of September, 1857, was designed to be an absolute sale, and not a mortgage.

We concur: Sanderson, C. J.; Shafter, J.; Currey, J.
