A great many conveyances have been made out of Lot No. 80 and our locus is one-fourth of so much of Lot No. 80 as lies north of the line which establishes the Seaside Inn property, excepting, however, a portion which has been conveyed to Mr. Rockefeller. Dower. In all cases where necessary dower has been released. Probate. In both instances where a party owning the locus has deceased the probate proceedings seem to be complete in all respects. Bounds. Io understand from Mr. Simpson that the bounds 32 C of the lot are clear, and that he surveyed the pro- perty a few years ago for the Clements. Taxes. Taxes for the year 1930 have been pai d. Except as shown under our heading "Conclusion" I find no liens, judgments, or attachments affecting our locus of record. It is thereformy opinion that John C. Clement has and can give good and marketable title to the one-fourth interest in the lot.

James Clement to Geo. B. Cooksey. An Option which was not acted upon. 31 CONCLUSION. Chain of Title. Our locus is a portion of Lot No. 80. A great many conveyances have been made out of Lot No. 80 and our locus is one-fourth of so much of Lot No. 80 as lies north of the line which establishes the Seaside Inn property, excepting, however, a portion which has been conveyed to Mr. Rockefeller. Dower. In all cases where necessary dower has been released. Probate. In both instances where a party owning the locus has deceased the probate proceedings seem to be complete in all respects. Bounds. I understand from Mr. Simpson that the bounds 32 of the lot are clear, and that he surveyed the pro- perty a few years ago for the Clements. Taxes. Taxes for the year 1930 have been pai d. Except as shown under our heading "Conclusion" I find no liens, judgments, or attachments affecting our locus of record. Itis therefore my opinion that John C. Clement has and can give good and marketable title to the one-fourth interest in the lot.
