Rh the second class when the performance of one condition is not obligatory until the actual performance of the other; and to the third class when neither party need perform his condition unless the other is ready and willing to perform his, or, in other words, when the mutual covenants go to the whole consideration on both sides and each is precedent to the other. Huggins v. Daley Fed 609. 4.0 C. C. A. 12, 48 L. R. A. 320.

The following van es may also be noted: A condition collateral is one requiring the performance of a collateral act having: no necessary relation to the main subject of the agreement.

Synonyms distinguished. A "condition" is to be distinguished from a limitation, in that the latter may be to or for the benefit of a stranger, who may then take advantage of its determination, while only the grantor, or those who stand in his place, can take advantage of a condition. (Hoseiton v. Hoselton, 166 Mo. 182. 65 S. W. 1005; Stearns v. Gofrey, 16 Me. 158;) and in that a limitation ends the estate without entry or claim, which is not true of a condition. It also differs from a conditional limitation; for in the latter the estate is limited over to a third person, while in case of a simple condition it reverts to the grantor, or his heirs or devisees, (Church v. Grant, 3 Gray [Mass] 147. 63 Am. Dec. 725.) It differs also from a covenant, which can he made by either grantor or grantee, while only the grantor um make a condition, (Co. Litt. 70.) A charge is a devise of land with a bequest out of the subject-matter, and a charge upon the devisee personally, in respect of the estate devised. gives him an estate on condition A condition also differs from a remainder; for, while the former may operate to defeat the estate before its natural termination, the latter cannot take effect until the completion of the preceding estate.
