An absolute convey ance upon the face of it, but subject by a verbal agreement to redemption os re-payment of money, is in Equity a mortgage, notwithstanding it be added to the verbal agreement that the conveyance shall be absolute in case of failure on the very day, or to pay with his own money, or the like ; or in case of failure to comply with any other condition added to render the right of redemption more difficult or doubtful; the answer confesses enough for •us to say it is a mortgage — but as the defendant’s counsel insists upon having the concents proved as the mortgage is lost, we will bear such proof. — Proofs were examined and established it to ’be a mortgage, and the court decreed a redemption.
