Leo Lessler, trustee in bankruptcy of Jacob Goldstein, bankrupt, plaintiff-appellant, v. Paterson National Bank, a corporation, defendant-respondent.
    [Submitted October 30th, 1925.
    Decided February 1st, 1926.]
    On appeal from a decree advised by Vice-Chancellor Baekes, whose opinion is reported in 97 N. J. Eq. S96.
    
    
      Mr. William Harris, for the appellant.
    
      Mr. John W. Harding, for the respondent.
   Per Curiam.

Of the six grounds of challenge to the validity of the chattel mortgage brought in question in this case that were presented to the court of chancery, the first four are abandoned on this appeal, and, therefore, we have considered only the fifth, relating to the affidavit made by the president of the mortgagee corporation, and the sixth, charging that the affidavit does not truly state the amount due or to grow due on the mortgage. So far as the opinion deals with the above two questions that are presented to us, we are satisfied with the result reached by the learned vice-chancellor, and for the reasons stated by him in his opinion. The other grounds of attack on the mortgage have, of course, not been considered.

For affirmance — The Chief-Justice, Trenchard, Parker, Minturn, Kalisch, Black, Katzenbach, Campbell, Lloyd, White, Gardner, Yan Buskirk, McGlennon, Kays, Hetfield, JJ.- 15.

For reversal — None.
