I. Parol evidence, to control contract by deed.

1. Where land in the possession of a tenant for years, is conveyed by deed, the right of the purchaser, as assignee of the reversion, to receive the whole rent for the current quarter, cannot be controlled by a contemporaneous parol agreement, to apportion the quarter's rent between the assignor and assignee.

Under the mortmain act of 9 G. 2. c. 36., the production of an indenture having an indorsement, which purports to be a memorandum of the inrolment of the indenture in chancery on a certain day, and to be signed by a party who is shewn to have acted as clerk of the inrolments, though not so designated in the indorsement, is sufficient proof of the inrolment, and of the time at which it took place,

EXCHEQUER BILLS.

I. Effect of possession of, 1. A., in South America, remits to B. in London, with directions to invest the amount in exchequer bills, and to hold the exchequer bills, when purchased, upon A.'s

account.

B. having purchased

the exchequer bills in his own name, places them in a box, which he locks and deposits with his banker, C. Interest becoming due, and it being necessary to exchange the exchequer bills for new ones, B. takes the exchequer bills from the box, and delivers them to C. for that purpose. The interest being received and the exchequer bills exchanged, C. credits B.'s account with the interest, and in the course of a week or two delivers the renewed exchequer bills to B., who locks them up in the box. The exchequer bills are not entered in B.'s pass-book, nor are they noticed in any of C.'s books. After one of these exchanges of exchequer bills, and before the renewed exchequer bills are received by B. from C., or deposited in the box, B.'s account with C. becomes overdrawn, C. having no notice that the exchequer bills belong to A., or that they are not the property of B. C. has no lien upon the exchequer bills for the
