Vail admita that in 1869 Drexel held tho legal title to tho property mentioned In the bill, 6 part of which is now known ao South Lynne, but ho claima that Georgo (= Smith and Charles Me Bmith art largely intorested in tho property, as cestuis quo trust, He algo admits the making of tho contract, the subdivision of tho land, aud tho principal allegations of tho bill, ax to tho torms on which he‘took possession. Io regard to tho oxtengion of tho contract in 1870, Vail says that Drexol rofused to modify the contract ‘unless tho rato of intorent wan Incroased. Boing at the time unable to make the paymenta na re- quired, ho was compolled to accede to Droxol's request, ‘Tho dofendant also claims that he first obtained tho written consant of Droxel bofore ho assigned this contract to Liason, N. J. Vail. Ho, howover, admits that he line ainco this assignment continued to take part in tho managoment of tho proporty. In October, 1871, tho defendant furthor says, N.J. Vall, having already paid during 1871 tho sum of €16,063.55, recelyed a now ond in- dopendont contract which waived all forfoltures mado boforo that timo, and which providod that aymente thon dua should bo added to those to Be mado in tho following year, About a yoor after that, N. J, Vail mado another application for time, which ‘waa granted only on tho condi- ilon that ho pay 8 per cent interest on all sums then duo, ‘Thiy was dono, and still anothor now and indopendent contract was made, In Aurust, 1873, another oxtonsion was grauted until 1875 on condition of paying 10 per cont interest, At that timo Vail admite ho bad not pald one- half of the purchiase-monoy, but charges that ho liad thon paid over £77,000 of tho whole &163,- 000. The plat included 920 acrea, which mado the original prico @525 an ocro, Vail chargea that tho Innd was not worth moro than £400 an acro, it being unimproved property on open prai- rio, 7 miles from tho city, aud it met with a slow sala. Tho complainant, it ig charged, bad pre- viously subdivided tho land under tho namo of Now Brunswick. but waa uvable to offect any ealos, and the defendant wna moro stccossful only by bringing bis oxtensive real-catata knowl- edge to his own aid. Ifo at tho tine of making the contract ogreod with Droxel to pay 6125 an fiero moro than the laud was worth ag usurioua iuteroat on tho purchasc-monoy, ‘Tho defendant noxt denies that ho only spent on the improvemont of tho land such monoy ns ho recelyoi from the walo of any part of {t, but, ‘on the contrary, charges thnt, soon aftor tho ox~ scution of tho contract, hile firm Isid out £6,000 on the land from their own funds, and pald 100 por cent to Droxel moro than tho purchase prico per acre of tho land, Vail slsodonies that he Snilod to pay the taxes, but says that bo resisted thota as unlawfol. On tho occasion that tho Jand was sold for o special nssoxsmoent, the do- fendaut gays it wee through an inadyortonco on the part of hia attorney. ‘Tho tax-certificates of that snlo were bought up by Droxot at 30 por cont advance on the original price, and by bins charged against tho dofondants at per cent advance, ‘the defendant denica that his son died hopelessly insolvent, or that no letters of adininistration wero ever taken out on hia ostato. Ho nleo denios that timo was mado an elomont of tho contract, or that the contract has over been logally forfeited. Ho admits that the hoira of N. J, Vait oro oxorcising rights of ownership over the property, but denies that thoy are creating clouds on the titlo, and claims that Drexol's title fs but that of s mortgage, Vail olao states that tho negotiations {n con- nection with tho purchoso of the property in quostion wore mado with Georgo C. and Charles M. Smith, tho brothers-in-law of Drexel; that the contract aud business was principally carried. on with thom, aud that Drexel concurred in all his movoments, snd had full netice of his pos- session of the land. ‘Tho lota have beon sold at about $170 each, or at tho rato of about 81.500to 92,500 an acre. There atill ramainy due on contracts herotoforo mado #110,000, and thero are yot about 1,700 lots unsold, including some of the bevt portions of tho subdivision, which aro valued at €425,000, 1u 1874, Vail charges ho received an offer of €20,000 cash for 20 acres, but compialnant declined to allow him tu soll for that amount, to his grant damage, Drexel baa also failod repeatodly to maka tho contracta or deady a8 he agreed. ‘fho dofandant also claims that the duplicates of tho coutracts wero left in the handsof Vail & Son by Droxel's consent, aud that thoy wore authorizod to colloct the doferrod aymonts, nud, in view of all the facts, asks to Taye tho bill disminsod.
