French v. French

This is a bill in equity, the main object of which is to determine the amount which the plaintiff should pay to the defendant to entitle the former to a conveyance by the latter of certain mining property in Colorado, which formerly belonged to the New England Mining Company, and which was sold under a levy of an execution obtained by the defendant, and bought by him for the amount of his execution. The plaintiff was also a creditor of the company, and, by an arrangement between himself and the defendant, was to have an equitable interest in the property.
