Knight v. Alabama Midland Railway Co.
Knight v. Alabama Midland Railway Co.
Opinion of the Court
We bold that the town of Luyeme is “in Southeast Alabama” within the terms of the deed from Knight to Watson, trustee &c.; and that the building within three years from the date thereof of the “Montgomery and Florida” railroad by the town of Ada to that point was a compliance with the condition subsequent contained in said deed, the purpose of which was to avoid the conveyance in the event a railroad was not built within the time mentioned “from Montgomery, Alabama, to Chattahoochie. Florida, or some other point in Southeast Alabama or Florida” ; the fact being that the land involved is situate along the line of said road as built between Luverne and Montgomery.
Affirmed.
