  • Scope and Content
    From: T.R.Colquhoun Dill of 1 New Square, Lincoln's Inn, London WC; To: Sworder & Longmore of Hertford "Luton Brewery I have revised the proof particulars & conditions. As to the Stables (No.4) I presume that someone (although not F.Hurst the Ynr) will be able to make the declon I have offered as to the intestecy and ownership "to the best of his knowledge &c". Probably an official of the L & C Bank or their solicitor who acted in the matter could do so. If no such declon can be made the references to it must be struck out of the condition & the condition wil lrun "The purchaser shall assume without any evidence that…heir at law". As to the Railway Hotel (No.50) I have inserted a condition on the assumption that the vendor can produce no documentary evidence as to the payment of the £4,000 mtge to the Phippses. If the vendor has a receipt for the £4,000 or has the collateral security in his possession the condition ought to be altered & the production of the receipt or secy made conclusive evidence. I presume the vendr would be able to make a declon as to non payment of interest as offered. As to The Plough (No.59) it seems to me but that the purchaser shd take over the building contract & the vendor should convey the site only. In this case the purchaser should pay or secure payment of the moneys payable under the contract before completion: otherwise the vendor might have to pay under the contract for the erection of buildings on the purchaser's land. The vendor will retain the insurance money. I do not know whether he has pt received it or not, & have therefore made provision as to this. See Condition 16. I think the auctioneer's form of agreement will do. P.S. I have left Messrs S & L to insert a date for delivery of the engrossment in Condon 6. I presume the question in Swain's will (69 in my opinion) has been satisfactorily settled.
