- Mortgage—Defeasance—Recording—Act of June 8, 1881. The Act of June 8, 1881, P. L. 84, relating to the recording of defeasances, applies to deeds for real estate only. H. assigned to R. his interest in several decedents’ estates for $500, and R. gave H. an agreement dated the next day to reassign within one year for $580. Both papers wore delivered contemporaneously on the receipt by H. of $500 from R. Held, that the two papers, together, constituted a mortgage of plaintiff’s interest in said estates, but that the transaction was not within the terms of the Act of June 8, 1881, P. L. 84, because it had not been shown that the interest conveyed by the assignment included real estate.
