Syllabus

<p>Fixtures — Right to Removal — Severance—Contracts. Upon the sale of real estate under an agreement that the vendor was to have the privilege of removing certain vats from a building, which he rented to the vendee, the status of the vats as personal property is fixed by the agreement, and their removal cannot be defeated by the vendee or those claiming under him with actual notice, on the theory that the vats were real estate fixtures not reserved or mentioned in the deed.</p> <p>Fixtures — Right to Removal — Contracts—Modification •— Construction. Where the vendor retained the right to remove certain vats from a building, his title thereto is not affected by subsequent modifications of the contract which were intended to relate only to the method and times of making deferred payments and making no change as to the property conveyed, although the modified contract made no mention of the vats.</p>
