• 53 Fla. 314

Syllabus

<p>1 Under a statute avoiding contracts of conditional sales of personal property when the possession remains with the vendee for two years, “unless such * * * reservation or limitation of use or property were declared by will or deed in writing proved and recorded,” a deed by the vendee only, acknowledging the reservation of title in the vendor does no satisfy the statute.</p> <p>2. The fact that the purchaser without record notice of a conditional vendee in possession of personal property, possession having so remained more than tw-o years before the purchase, tenders his good offices in assisting the conditional vendor to collect the unpaid money, does not avoid the latter purchase.</p>
