Nott v. Burgess

Opinion of the Court

Opinion of the Full Court, by

Preston, J.

This is an appeal by the plaintiff against a decree made by the Chancellor, on the 22d day of June last, whereby he dismissed the bill for want of Equity.

On a perusal of the papers in the case and the opinion of the Chancellor, we think the decree was properly made; at the same time we adopt the principle stated by the Chancellor, as to the effect of a chattel mortgage upon the property comprised therein.

The appeal is therefore dismissed with costs.
