Description
This action arose out of a series of transactions between defendants (appellants) Small, husband and wife, and one H. B. Gillingham, Sr. The first transaction occurred on or about September 1, 1962, at which time Small borrowed $18,000 from Gillingham and as security gave Gillingham his promissory note and a quitclaim deed to the Helen Beck ranch property, involved in this action. Thereafter, Small borrowed other sums from Gillingham, making a total borrowed of about $80,000, as found by the trial court. These additional borrowings were represented by promissory notes and were secured by transfers to Gillingham of Small's interest in other properties involved herein. December 7, 1962, these several transactions were merged by an instrument (plaintiff's exhibit 1) entitled ""Memorandum of Sale and Option,"" executed by Small and wife and Gillingham and wife. This document on its face purported to be an outright purchase and sale of the title or interest of the Smalls in three ranch properties in Elmore county, known as the Helen Beck, Gladys Beck, and Rudge properties. The contract gave Small an option to repurchase the properties for the sum of $80,000 on or before March 1, 1963. Small was to remain in possession of the property during the life of the option. Sometime prior to March 1, 1963, Small went to the office of the Security Title Insurance Co. (hereinafter called Title Company) and gave the president and manager of that company, one A. W. Moulton, an order for an examination and report on the titles of the properties involved. At that time Moulton also agreed to help Small find a lender who would loan Small money needed to pay his obligation to Gillingham. Such a lender was not found prior to March 1st, and after considerable negotiation the Title Company, through its president and manager Moulton, purchased Gillingham's interest in the ""Memorandum of Sale and Option"" for the sum of approximately $82,000, and orally extended Small's option thereunder an additional two weeks. Small continued in his efforts to raise money with which to exercise the option and was again assisted in that effort by Moulton. This effort and assistance by Moulton continued beyond the expiration of the two-week oral extension of the option.
