Opinion

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Rowell, J.

The orators’ law is sound, but the facts do not bring their case within it. The defendant never held the mortgage on the Johnson land as security for the $200 note. There never was any talk between him and Orson Kimball that he should so hold it, but only that he should take it and give up said note, which he never did.

It is clear that the decree was right, and it is affirmed, and cause remanded.
