Judge UoIho today gavo nuother do
clslon that Is of Interost ns affecting
real estato transactions. It was In tho
case of Mrs. Uossle Randall and minor
duughtor, Ilusslo, against C. S. Ling
wall. In which Judgment Ih rendered
fur the plaintiff.
This was an action brought to quiet
title to a rosldonco nml eight lots In
rniuuwlty nddltlou to Sulem. In 1888
O I Itandall, just previous to his mnr
rlsge with tho plnlntlff, transferred
the property to his brother, Thomas J.
Itandall, In form of a trust deed.
In 1801 Thomas ro-conveyod the
property to O. P. Randall, who failed
to have tho doed recorded O. P.
Itumlall and family subsequently re
moved to Southern Oregon, where, In
Fein nary, 1808, the husband and a lit
tle daughter were accidentally
drowned, never having filed for record
the deed to the property. In the fol
lowing April, Thomas wild the prop
eity by warrantee deed, to C. Q. Ling
wall, of Portland.
In giving his dnclslon, Judge Koine
holds that a person holding an uure
corded deed, that glve absolute title,
cannot have his deed defeated by any
'onvt-yancn. subsequent in time, that
may be made by the grantor named In
the instrument- Whether such a deed
! held In trust or otherwise ban no
oiiMlderntlnn In the chm. After O.
P'k dentil, the tenant of tit" pioperty
oal'l sumo rent to Thomas, but on
tli - pliaitsM) of the cms the court
hulas UiHt a UmwiiI has no tight to dls-niit-
bis landlord' title. Judge Ilotae
.m ludwl by saylnif that the iWvnd
ant porchaMNl and took iHMMtelm of
the property, knowing that It be
longed to another, and that Thomas
IUihIrII wrongfully ami fraudulently
tiansferred the imiperty by warranty
Iwd to LlngwalL fly the decree of
the Mirt the deed from Thomas nan
lall tn Uugwall Is st aside and Mrs,
Randall Is awarded obmsihIoii of the
property.
