   PER CURIAM.

The failure to complete the proceedings to sell the infant’s interest in time to enable the vendors to tender the guardian’s deed on the law day was alone sufficient justification for appellant’s rescission of the contract. Furthermore, the testimony concerning the simultaneous deeds from John Sprowell to James Sprowell and from James to John, and the absence of conveyance from either, and, as well, the testimony concerning the right of way reserved in the Bergen deed, was sufficient prima facie to justify the appellant in lejecting the title.

The judgment and order should be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
