• Court: Supreme Court of New Hampshire
• Decided: June 5, 1888
• Status: Published

Opinion

Bingham, J.

If this suit were on the mortgage, on a plea of the statute of limitations, the plaintiff worild be entitled to judgment, and the statute makes no other test. Hall v. Hall, 64 N. H. 295; Alexander v. Whipple, 45 N. H. 502.

If the defendant had never had a title to the mortgaged premises, the plaintiff could obtain judgment of foreclosure, and “ actions upon notes secured by mortgage of real estate may be brought so long as the plaintiff is entitled to bring an action on the mortgage.” G. L., c. 221, s. 5.

Judgment for the plaintiff.

Blodgett, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
