Eliza A. Munoz, as Administratrix v. Eliza A. Wilson, Impleaded

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment in favor of the plaintiff, holding that the lack of a bond does not defeat a mortgage when the mortgage itself evidences the debt, that delivery of a mortgage to a third party for the mortgagee's use is sufficient, that a party witness's testimony may be discredited, and that a recorded mortgage has priority over a prior unrecorded deed.
