Wisconsin Supreme Court November 21, 1882 (Carey v. Boyle)

Cassodat, J.

It appeal’s very clearly from the opinion of Mr. Justice Orton on the former appeal (53 Wis., 574) that in equity the plaintiff must be regarded as having a vendor’s lien upon the 120 acres of land purchased by him for and in the name of his brother Patrick, to whose rights the appellants succeeded, and that such lien had the essential characteristics and incidents of a mortgage.
