Michigan Supreme Court · decided 1874-05-01
Case made from Kent Circuit. This was a summary proceeding for the possession of land. The case was brought before a circuit court commissioner and taken by appeal to the circuit court. The circuit judge tried it without a jury, and filed a special finding, giving judgment for the complainants.
Decided 1874-05-01
¶1held that the decision of the circuit judge, that the contract, construed in connection with the deed, did not amount in legal effect to a mortgage, and that the contract was no defense to the proceeding for possession after the expiration of the term therein provided for, was clearly correct.
¶2Judgment affirmed, with costs.
