Abstract of the Decision.
1. Mortgages, § 733 * —what shows contract to settle second mortgage in consideration of waiver of redemption.

Statement of the Case.
Action by Abraham J. Liebman, against William B. Austin for breach of contract. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals.
Liebman and Austin being in the position of second and third mortgagees respectively, Liebman claimed that in consideration of his forbearing to redeem the premises from a foreclosure sale Austin agreed to pay Liebman the amount of his claim. A deed was introduced in evidence conveying certain other property from the mortgagor to Austin and providing that a certain portion of the purchase price thereof should be retained by Austin to apply on incumbrances on the mortgaged property, securing Liebman’s note.
