And I the said mortgagor, do hereby, for myself and for my heirs, executors, and
administrators, covenant with the said mortgagee and his heirs and assigns that I am law-

incumbrances except a prior mortgage to said Louis A. Pepe for $2000., by deed dated May 4,
1933 and recorded in Book 15 and Page 25 of said Charlestown Land Evidence Record; that I
have good right, full power and lawful authority to sell and convey the same in the manner as

hereafter peaceably and quietly have and enjoy the said premises, and that I the said
mortgagor will, and my heirs, executors and administrators shall, warrant and defend the
same to the said mortgagee and his heirs and assigns forever against the lawful claims and
demands of all persons.
PROVIDED, NEVERTHELESS, and this conveyance is made upon the express condition,
that if the said mortgagor or his heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, shall pay

stallments of interest in arrears, whether before or at after maturity, to bear interest at
the rate aforesaid until paid and shall also pay all taxes and assessments of every kind
levied or assessed upon or in respect of said premises, then this deed, as also said pron-
issory note, shall become and be absolutely void to all intents and purposes whatsoever.

ance hereinafter contained, then it shall be lawful for the said mortgagee, his executors,
administrators, or assigns, to sell, together, or in parcels, all and singular, the prem-
