Andrew Mackey, Jr., for plaintiff in error. C. A. Schnake, for defendant in error.

BRACE, J.

This is an action of ejectment instituted in the circuit court of the city of St. Louis, to recover possession of lot 10, in city block 688, in Peter Lindell's addition to the city of St. Louis. Defendant McCabe is the tenant of defendant Schrader. The case was tried by the court, without a jury, on an agreed statement of facts, from which it appears that, on the sixteenth of July, 1874, one Josiah G. McClelland, who was at the time the owner in fee-simple of said lot, by his deed of that date, in which his wife joined, duly executed, acknowledged, and recorded, conveyed said lot to one Adolph Kehr, in trust, to secure the payment to said defendant Schrader of certain promissory notes which she held of his.

On the first of October, 1881, McClelland, being in default on his promissory notes, secured by the deed of trust aforesaid, surrendered possession of the premises then occupied by his tenant, McCabe, to the defendant Schrader the cestui que trust, and directed McCabe thereafter to pay the rents to her, which he did, and the same was credited on said notes as paid.
