Texas Supreme Court April 10, 1899, No. 783. (Williamson v. Conner)

BROWN, Associate Justice.

W. P. Ellison is the common source from whom all of the parties to this controversy claim title to the land in suit. On March 1, 1893, Ellison sold and conveyed the land to R. R. Spaugh, and in the deed recited that a part of the purchase money was secured by two notes, one for $200 and the other for $165, for which a vendor’s lien was retained in the face of the deed.
