Syllabus

<p>Vendor and Vendee.—Plaintiffs Contracted to Sell Certain Land to two of defendants, payment to be made at a specified time, and, if not so made, the contract to be void, at plaintiffs’ option. It was also agreed that certain tracts should be conveyed on payment of the agreed price therefor, and that, if the vendees sold any of the land, they might retain one-fourth of the purchase price, and securities for the remainder should be deposited in bank to secure the performance of their contract with plaintiffs. The appellants purchased certain tracts of the vendees, paying them in part therefor, and tendered the balance to plaintiffs. Held, that plaintiffs were not bound by any payments made to their vendees, since such contract did not make them agents, or authorize them to receive any money for plaintiffs.</p>
