Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided July 1, 1850
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine · decided 1850-07-01
Entry, submitted for decision upon facts reported by a commissioner. A father conveyed the land to the defendant, his son, taking a bond, (with a mortgage for its performance,) for the maintenance of the father. While these deeds were unrecorded, and before any breach of the bond, the father deeded with general warranty to the plaintiff, who had knowledge of the former conveyance.
Decided 1850-07-01
¶11st. The plaintiff’s deed, having been taken in fraud of defendant, cannot entitle him to an absolute judgment against the defendant.
¶22d. The deed to the plaintiff perhaps transferred the mortgage. It was a mortgage to secure performance of a bond. The bond was never assigned to plaintiff. Therefore he can have no conditional judgment. Nonsuit.
