Syllabus

<p>Deed — Reconveyance—Time—Agreement as to time — Time as essence of contract.</p> <p>Where an agreement on its face shows that it was for a reconveyance of property originally conveyed as security for the payment of money, and the agreement specifies a time for the reconveyance, but the parties subsequently agree upon another and later time, the date then fixed becomes of the essence of the agreement, and if the party desiring the reconveyance does not tender the money on the date, and does not file a bill for a reconveyance until four months thereafter, the bill will be dismissed.</p>
