ANT. the Supreme Court decided In thic case that subsequent mortgagees who are made defend- unts to o bill Lrought by the original mortgagee may sct up thelr Hignts to the distribution of the eurplus procceds, by way of answer, by fitiug & cross-Dill; or that same may e ascer- talned without anawer upon reference to the Master, without any pleading whatever. The Supreme Court aleo decldes that where a deerec of forcclosure finds the facts upon which the deeree proceeds, it is not necessary to preservo the evidence by a certfficate, but that the find- fugof the Court will sustatn the decree. If the defendant objects, and secks to reverse the decreo on error, it s his duty to prescrve the cvidence by a certificate, and ‘not the. duty of the winniog party. The Suprema Court also Tolds that fnterest at the rate of 20 per cent por annum after maturily, taken ns lquidated damages, s not eubject to the plea of usury, and I8 legal, not only ngaiust the maker of the note, but aganst the property sccuring the same In whataoever homls the same may come.

The Court eems to be of tho opinfon that, i auch an act were by its terms made retroactive Infts effect 80 as to operate upon the judgment obtalued prior to the passage of the act, it would be un- constitutionul, us tending to Impair the obllza- tion of contracts, ‘The Court further hulds Lthat o llen created by the statute cannot be extended {nequity; that'equity follows the law; and if tho * sevon vears huve - oxplred the time cannot bo extended . hy means of fllng o LI I chaneery prior to the explration of the seven years, b{ way of a creditor’s bill or otherwive,” ‘Tho -Court also liolds that tho Assignce In bankruptey takes ull the estate of the fusolvent subjeet tuany Heus upon it prior to such bankruptey, but that after tlie termination of the lien created by the stat uto the Assfmeo alone can malntalu’ an action to setastde a deed of conveyance made prior to tho baukruptey, and tho Ilnd;:munt of ereditors would have ho such right; that bis deed ofs wiped out by the discharge in bankruptey, and it is ouly his lfen that remafus, which, having ex- ed, hia would huvo no further dehts b the s ; that the deed {8 discharged in bank- ptey, and when the Hew of the judmnent ceased there 18 nothinge Jeft for an exceution to operate upon, Thu former decree, in favor of Toliard aud Kelly, wus afilrmed, George F.

It nmwumi from the evidence that at the time the zoods were delivered at Friond- - fl,lr Btatlon, the Erio Rallway Company yrave ‘Wilcox a receipt, specifying the address of the goods and statlng that the same were recelved to be forwanled from Fricndship Statfou to Clevelaud—the western torminus of the Jine of voad opersted by the Com- pony, At the same time, the uppellee, Wilcox, executed and dehvered to the rallway comwpany what Is kuowu as o release, specifying that, upon the goods being -hlppeJ at reduced rutes, the Erle Hailway Company, snd every other company over whoso lines tie oods might pass Lefore rescling their final estination, should not be liable for damage, delay, or Josa of uny kind. The goods were duly lransported to Cleveland by the Erio Rall- w-i Company, snd there delivercd to the Lake Bhore 34 Michigan Boutbern Rallrood Company, from whom the Erie Rullway Com- puny collceted charges for the trunsportation whith it bod performed.

That stutute unmistukably applied to causes of uee tion on which u st could not be matntalued at the thie the law was passed, The prammatieal Iimport of tue language was that it #houtd be harred tn the cuurts of this Stute if it was burred by tho lawa of another State when tho uction was brought fn this State withous roference to when (ho s 80 thut it was after th Tiut that act was not retrospective, qulre Its operation to be restricted It took from the creditor no fixed or vested right, Al the rigl was the bure continges of the law was to law was of fesa account, it should bu Lrousht, o adoptlon of the fuw, ht he previously biad ney thiat bis debtor nilgh some possibility, cone into this Btate, an that e nifent leamm ot tho fact in time to sue hiw hero.
