Trust mortgagor v. Administrator and heirs of mortgagee and trustee.

We command you that you summon A, of &c., administrator of the goods and estate of M C, late of &c., deceased, intestate, B, C, &c., being the heirs at law of the said M and F, of &c., to answer to W, of &c., in a case in equity; wherein the said W complains and says, that the said F, on &c., at &c., bid off and purchased for the said W, at his request, the following parcels of land and dwellinghouse, viz. &c. which said parcels of land and dwellinghouse were then and there sold at public vendue, for the sum of $, which said sum was then paid therefor; and thereupon, afterwards, on &c., the same parcels of land and house were conveyed to the said F, to hold in trust for the Isaid W, who had paid the whole consideration therefor, as aforesaid. And afterwards, on the same day of &c.,

the said F, being seized of, and holding said parcels of land and said dwellinghouse in trust for said W, then and there, by his direction and appointment, by his, the said F's, deed of bargain and sale, of that date, by him signed, sealed, and delivered, and duly acknowledged, conveyed in mortgage the said parcels of land, and said buildings, to the said M C, then living, as collateral security for the payment of the sum of $, and lawful interest therefor, which sum the said M C had, on that same day, loaned to the said W for one year then next ensuing, and now past. And the said M C then and there, by her deed of that date, by her signed, sealed, and delivered, and here in court to be produced, acknowledged and agreed, that she had a deed of said F of the parcels of land and buildings aforesaid, for security for the sum of $, that she paid to the said W (meaning, he avers, the said $-, which she had loaned to the said W as aforesaid ;) and that if the said W, his heirs or assigns should pay said sum of $—, and the interest therefor, at or before &c., then next ensuing, then she would convey unto him the said parcels of land and buildings again; but in case the said W did not pay the aforesaid sum of money and interest to her, at or before said - day of &c., then the same land and buildings were not to be conveyed to him, but to be held by her, as by said F's deed was expressed. And she did therein covenant and agree with said 'W, that if he should well and truly pay the said sum of $-, and interest, she would thereupon return him said land.

And the said W says, that the said M C, at the time the said F made and delivered his aforesaid deed to her, as aforesaid, occupied the said house, and part of the land aforesaid, as tenant to the said W; and that she, from that time until her death, which happened on &c. last past, continued to occupy said house, and part of said land as tenant to said W, and that he occupied the other part of said land; and that since the decease of the said M C, the said A, as administrator of her goods and estate, hath entered into said house and land, for and because the condition aforementioned, to be performed by said W, was broken, and hath continued possession unto this time.

And the said W further says, that afterwards, on &c. last past, at &c., he, in order to redeem said house and parcels. of land, tendered and offered to said A, administrator of the goods and estate of said M C as aforesaid, the sum of $-, for the payment of the said sum of $-, due from him to

said A, as administrator as aforesaid, and to secure the payment whereof, said house and parcels of land were conveyed to the said M C as aforesaid, and the lawful interest thereof then due, and all costs which said M C, in her lifetime, and the said A, since her decease, had incurred about or respecting said house and parcels of land, and of all sums of money which he had disbursed and expended in necessary repairs, over and above what the rents and profits thereof amounted to, upon a just computation; and then and there requested him to accept the same, and to deliver possession of the premises to him, and to discharge the said mortgage thereof, by release, quitclaim, or some other legal conveyance. And the said W avers, that the said sum of -, so by him tendered to said A, did then and there exceed the whole principal money, which said house and parcels of land were conveyed to secure the payment of, as aforesaid, and all the interest then due thereon, and all costs which had been incurred by the said M C and said A on account of said house and parcels of land, or debt, together with all sums of money disbursed and expended by said M, in her lifetime, or the said A, or her aforesaid heirs at law, or any of them, since her decease, in repairing the fences. or buildings on said lands, and advancing and bettering said premises, over and above what the rents and profits thereof, received by her, in her lifetime, and the said A, and her said heirs at law, after her decease, did amount to, upon a just computation; and yet the said A, administrator as aforesaid, wholly denies, and the said B, C, &c., the heirs at law of said M C, deceased, wholly deny, and the said F also doth deny the right of redemption of said premises to him, the said W; and they continue to hold him out of the same; to the damage of him, the said W, as he says, the sum of $3000; wherefore he brings this suit, and prays your honors to consider his case in equity, and that, upon his producing and lodging in Court all such sums of money as your honors shall find to be due to the said A, in his said capacity, he may be restored to the title and possession of the dwellinghouse and parcels of land, and other buildings aforesaid.
