National Bank of Athens v. Shackelford

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The evidence in this case tends strongly to show that, although the mortgage given by the bankrupt to the appellant was for a valid consideration and effective as between the parties thereto, the same by understanding, if not agreement, was withheld from record, so as not to affect the.mortgagor’s credit; and we therefore concur with the trial judge in his disposition of the case.

The decree appealed from is affirmed.
