Description
This is a bill in equity by a wife to recover from her husband one-half of the rentals and proceeds of the sales of properties which they owned jointly during coverture. The case comes forward on appeal from a decree sustaining the bill and allowing recovery in accordance with the prayers. It is conceded, or at least not controverted, that on February 11, 1942, the defendant Morris Greenberg having purchased with his own money a property located at 98-102 Middle Street in Portland, Maine, and by express directions caused the conveyance to be made to himself and his wife, the plaintiff Anna Greenberg, as joint tenants, collected the rents accruing until September 30, 1942 following when by mutual consent they sold the property, the vendees paying the husband $2,000 in money, and giving him a note and mortgage for $4,000 payable to the vendors jointly with interest at four per cent but in installments over a period of five years. Then on April 28, 1943, using with his own moneys that which had been received from the sale of the Middle Street property, Morris Greenberg bought another property located at 241-249 Congress Street in Portland, caused this also to be conveyed to him and his wife as joint tenants, and received all the rents until August 31, 1943 when by agreement they sold the property. At this sale the purchaser paid the husband $4,000 in money, clear of expenses, and gave a note and mortgage for $13,000 payable in semi-annual installments with interest at five per cent, the mortgage running to the vendors jointly but the note, through error, being payable to the husband alone. All notes and mortgages received in these transactions are in the possession and under the control of the husband or his attorney.
