Henry & Canisaro and Catchings & Catchings, for appellant,, W. H. Clements, for appellee.

Central Bank & Trust Co. v. Norton Lumber Co.

Opinion of the Court

Cook, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

We think the demurrer should have been overruled. The bill of complaint states a case which- entitled complainant to the relief prayed for.

The hill and exhibits show that the Norton Lumber Company agreed to pay the notes due to the Central Bank & Trust Company as a part of the. purchase price of the land, and, this being true, the holders of the notes had a vendor’s lien on the land.

Reversed and remanded.
