Headnote

Mortgage—Discharge of, not a discharge of a decree of foreclosure thereon.
J. Blunt for complainants.

The chancellor decided that the discharge of a mortgage is not a technical discharge of a decree of foreclosure thereon. Neither is it a discharge in equity, except as against a bona fide purchaser who might have been deceived thereby. Decree modified and affirmed, with costs.
