also require the indenture as a guarantee for a loan facility for him.<o:p></o:p>RESPONDENT’S COMMENTS.<o:p></o:p>Respondents
said in his comments that he had indeed sold a piece of land to the complainant
and had also correct to an agreement with him that after the payment of the
full purchase price the complainant would pay for the preparation of an
indenture. The respondent indicated that the amount meant for the preparation
of the said indenture was paid in the latter part of last year and that
accounted for the delay. He had however handed the indenture over to the
