Butler v. Frazer

Opinion of the Court

PEE CUEIAM.

The mortgage not only provides for a foreclosure without regard to the adequacy of the security, but assigns the rents and profits to the holder in the event of a default in payment. That the security is insufficient does not seem to be questioned, but the insolvency of the mortgagor is denied, and is not apparent. Nevertheless, the stipulation for foreclosure and the assignment of the rents as-security entitles the plaintiff to a receiver. MacKellar v. Rodgers, 52 N. Y. Super. Ct. 360; Bryson v. James, 55 N. Y. Super. Ct. 374. It is where the rents are not specifically pledged that insolvency and insecurity must be shown. Quincy v. Cheeseman, 4 Sandf. Ch. 406. InDegener v. Stiles (Sup.) 6 N. Y. Supp. 474, β€œthe security was ample.”' To deny a receiver would be to infringe the contract, rights of the plaintiff. Motion granted, with costs. -
