Tillou against Sharpsteen.
    June 4th.
    An injunction to stay proceedings under a power to sell contained in a mortgage, was retained, though it appeared that the mortgage had been discharged, until an action at law brought by the plaintiff against the defendant on the covenant of seisin in his deed to the plaintiff, was decided.
    BILL filed for an injunction to stay proceedings under a power to sell contained in a mortgage, on the ground that there was an outstanding unsatisfied mortgage on the premises at the time of the execution of the deed to the plaintiff, which was unknown to him, and also, because the defendant had no title when he conveyed to the plaintiff. An injunction was granted.
    A motion was now made to dissolve the injunction. It appeared that the outstanding mortgage had been discharged; but it also appeared that the plaintiff had sued the defendant on his covenant of seisin, and that there had been a trial at law, and a verdict taken in favour of the plaintiff, subject to a case which had been made, and which Was now ready for argument in the Supreme Court.
