In tho case of the Mcrchants' Natlonal Bank va, Blmeon Mears et al., declded yosterday morning by Judgo Diudgett, an Important question wan in- volved as to tho poworof Natlonal Banks to tako real-cstata sccurity fop loons, Tho sult wasto forecloss a martgago given by Esalas Warren to sccire A note to K. G. Mears, and subsequently asalgned to tho bank., The lattor lent moncy on the socarity of the note, and subscquently Mcars pald up part of tho loan, and tho bank rolmbursed Itaoif for its fnll advances by the salo of other col- laterals, becoming the puzrchaser at such sale, and an agreement was mado by which thls note and wmorigage were to be held as noal se- curity for the balance of some $2,700. The vrincipal defenso to the suit was that tho transac- tion was ultra vires, it befug boyond the power of & Natlonal Bank to niake a loan an real-catata se- curity. Tho Judge said ho did not think, in tho present Instapco, the loan was made on real-cstato security, but on a noto to Mears, sccured oy col- lntorals, —tho collaterals bLoing the Warcon note, wwiths auch incldental secarity as the Warren noto bad, Inthccaso af the Northwestern Natlonat Dank vs. Loewdnthal, involving the same qu; tions, tho Judge sald ho had decided, about a year ago, that auch a transactlon was not within the re- ulrcments, cither express or implled, of tho Na. tlonal Banking law. 1t had boen repeatedly held that Natlonal Banks could only loan on personal sceurity diroctly.

It was, howeyor, doubtfal whother any real-estate sccurity bad been accepted, With the note of Simeon Moars was given othier collateral sccurity beslcos the Warren note, aod undor all the circumstauces it did not anpear that the bank had been violating the law, A decree qf foreclosurs would thorcfero bo ontored in it favar.
