Lawyers know better, Witness recent cases in point contained in last | Week's state supreme court decisions. | In two cases, one bearing on contracts to buy and sell real estate, and the other | on contracts to buy and sell personal prop- erty, the supreme court, by majority vote, | upheld its former remarkable position on two rather ancient principles of law. In the one case the court holds as its tule of law on real estate contracts the following: “Purchasers under an executory con- tract of sale of real estate do not acquire any title, legal or equitable, nor any inter- ast, legal or equitable, in property covered | by the contract.” In the second case the court maintains its position on conditional sales contracts as follows: property to an innocent third party and the buyer under the original contract be left with only a claim for damages against the vendor, which he may or may not be able to enforce, The supreme court has held a purchaser under a contract may insure the property | and enforce his contract of insurance, but if he have no manner of interest, what is there to insure? *_ * OLMAN points out that the supreme court got off on the wrong foot in | a case decided some five years ago, V Tieton Hotel Co, vs. Manheim, an opinion signed by four judges. “This court seems for the first time to have adopted as law the erroneous expres- sions which had theretofore been indulged in as mere dictum,” says Tolman. “So, by Tf the purchaser has no interest in the But, Maybe He Didn't Say Tt | ties, the same, probably, being as rotten “ OST Americans of Puritan stock, | 451" our present times.
