leases of
five
separate houses -\Jere
granted by the same lessors on the same 'day
to the same lessee, to whom each lease gave
an option of purchasing .the fee-simple,
in
which case he was to pay all legal and other
expenses of the lessors as vendors, it being
stated that the intention of the parties was
that the lessors should be put to no expense
in respect of the conveyance.
The lessee by one letter exercised each of
the five options, received only one' abstract of
title, and required only one conveyance of .all
the five houses.
The vendors' solicitors (declined to allow all
the houses to be conveyed by one deed, except-
on the terms that they should not be deprived
of any part of the costs under the leases, and
claimed to charge in respect of each house the
scale fee for " deducing title and perusing and
completing conveyance ":
'Held,
that the vendors' solicitors could' not
charge a separate scale fee for each house, but
were only entitled to treat the whole property
as subject to one contract, and to charge ; one
fee in respect of the whole.
