was argued for s venal days curly in the present month.
The snit was inati..uted by the deviagea of the real estate of
a tesutt,,r, named Griffith, te red.:. m certain freehold estates
in Wales, which had been mortgaged by the testator in the
year 1800. The defendants cl.ivie,l under the mortgagee,
and contended that they were entiqed to hold the mortgage
premines diacharged from t-c cqu;ty of redemption. They
objected also, that by a deed executed in 1810, the mort-
gagor had shown an intentio, t i convert his real estate into
personalty in favour of t.,a penional repreeentativi, and
that, coniequently, the title to the equity cf vdcmption, it
any, au vested, not in the plaint ,as deviates of rcal
estate, but in the personal reptestatatives of the mortgagor.
whn ...re not made parties t° the suit. Thhey insisted that
the bill ought, therefore, to be dismissed wit coats.
