&EOB&IA COURIER * VOL. 2. AUGUSTA, GEO. MONDAY, JUNE ,11, 1827. v NO. li. prW.ISHl.D EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY AVS 2 O’CLOCK. P« Al Mr Howard’s Brick Buildings,-opposite Mr. Cummiug’s Law Buildings, M’lntosh Street LAW REFORTS. SHULTZ KINNEY. Richmond Superior Court, ) November Term 1826. ^ The principles settled in this case are: 1st. There is no law in Georgia which requires a mortgage of real or personal property to be recorded. 2nd. The doctrine of equitable lien on real property applies only between the Tender and Vendee, and their represent tatives, and cannot affect an innocent pur chaser for a valuable consideration with out notice. This was a 6. fa. issued upon the for«£ closure of a mortgage on real property in the citv of Augusta. The property was claimed by Abraham Richards, and upon the trial of the claim, the special jury found the property subject to execution. Shultz had sold the property to Kinney, and taken this mortgage in order to secure the purchase money, but did not place the jnortffage on record until two or three years after its date. In the mean time, Kinney sold the property to Richards, and made him a deed, which was imme diately placed on record, It did not ap pear that Richards had any notice of the mortgage. The claimant Richards now moved the Court for a new trial, on several grounds; 6ut, they all resolved themselves into this—That the mortgage not having been recorded within twelve months, was null and void as against the title of the Claim ant which was recorded in due time. The Plaintiff contended that, even admitting the ground taken bv the Claimant, yet that the Vender of real property has an equitable lien on such property as a secu rity for the purchase money, although notes have been given for the same by the Vendee to the Vendor. J3y tiie Court—Two questions arise nut of this motion for a new trial. First— Whether the laws of Georgia require a mortgage of real property to be recorded, 4;nd if they do, where, and within what time such record must be made ? Second ly—Whether the Vendor of real property lias an equitable lien on such property, as a security for the purchase money although notes have been given fertile same by the Vendee to the Vendor 1 1'fie fo-.-*.-question is one-of cons - - notice. (See Wragg vs. Compt. Gen’l. et al. 2 Dess. Rep. and note to that case; also, Mackreth vs. Simmons, 15 Ves. 329, where Lord Chancellor Eldon has review ed all the cases on this subject. The situation of a party is materially altered by having a verdict against him, and even if the law required a mortgage to be recorded, and the verdict were a- gainst law, yet the Court will look into the whole case, and if it .sees that justice has been done, will not disturb the verdict. Now, according to the evidence, it appears that when Kinney sold this lot to Rich ards, he apprised him of this debt due by him to Shultz, and left some fur.liture and other articles with Richards to pay it, but it was not paid. Richards and Kinney had been partners, and when Kinney ap prised Richards that this debt was due to Shultz, it is quite probable that be also gave him notice of the mortgage, fo. he (ftovided for the payment of it by leaving property with Richards for that purpose. The debt is clearly due to Shultz, and if either party must lose, it is more proper under all the circumstances, that it should be Richards thaR Shultz. Two juries have thought proper under the evidence, to find the property subject to the mort gage execution, and I see no reason to disturb the verdict. New trial refused. Wilde, f»r Plaintiff. Flournoy, for Claimant* Events of the War of 1812 between the United States find Great Britain. [Compiled for the Boston Patriot.] This war was undertaken in defence of the commerce of the United States with France and Spain, their colonies, and oth er natrons at war with Great Britain,whose cruisers, contrary to the law of nations, had plundered American vessels on the high seas, under pretended blockades of the ports of those nations and colonies,and had impressed Amertcan seamen from on boaPd of them. It was undertaken in de fence likewise of our newly settled fron tiers, whose inhabitants were daily massa cred by the Indians, incited by British traders and garrisons in Canada, who fur nished them with arms, &c. to carrv on their murderous warfare. dersble difficulty, because our laws upon that subject are extremely vague and un certain. The first act unon the subject, is that of 1755, (Prut. Dig. 103.) which declares that mortgagesshall he registered in the Register of records’ office within sixtv dnvs afier its date. The next is the iact of 1760, and relates only to the mode of conveying lands bv husband and wife, and has nothing to do with the question now before the Court Then conies the act of 1768, (Prin. Dig. 110,) which de clares that all deeds, mortgages, or con veyances of real property, negroes, See., being recorded in the Secretary’s office within ten days,’shall be deemed and considered as the first deed, mortgage, <Xtc. And then comes the act ofl~85, (Prin. Dig. 112,) which declaras that all deeds of conveyance by wav of .bargain and sale, and lease an'^release, shall be recorded i« the Clerk% office, within twelve months after their dates; but savs nothing of mortgages. The act of 175(5, is clearly obsolete. For many years nast /here has been no such office in this State .-as the Register of records' offer ; and in deed if there were, this act is virtually re pealed by the act of 1768. which requires mortgages fo be recorded in the Secreta ry's office of the province. And this act of 1768, I also take to be obsolete, be cause thouSecrefary of .State’s’ office has ■Jong since ceased to be a recording office. The only recording office now known, is the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, and this is made so by the act of 1785. But this last act relates only to deeds of conveyance ; and a mortgage is not a deed of conveyance, but only a lien on the property for the amount of the mortgage money ; the legal title still abid ing in the mortgagor. (4 John. Rep. 44 in note.—11 John.* Rep. 534.) The act of 1768, is then certainly repealed by the act of 1785, so far as relates to conveyan ces ; and so for as it relates to mortgages it is obsolete, because the great extent of the State at this day, renders it almost impossible to have mortgages from a re mote part of the State recor led in the Secretary of State’s office within ten days. And if both acts are considered in force, then a mortgage would have to be recorded in the Secretary’s office within ten days, or otherwise a Conveyance recorded in the office of the' Clerk of the Superior Court, within twelve months, under the act of 1785, would take precedence of such mortgage. Such construction of these acts would be unreasonable, and productive of great injustice, and there fore cannot be adopted. Under this view -of the subject, I am of opinion that there is no law in Georgia requiring mortgages to be recorded. 2nd. Thq second question as regards the equitable lien, it is unnecessary to de termine in this cause, as tnfe first question is sufficient to settle the rights of the par- But the doctrine of equitable lien ties. applies'only between the Vendor and Vendee and their representatives, and cannot affect the property in the hands of a third person who is a bona fide purchas er for « valuable consideration, without 1812.
