STEWART V. LOOMBE.

This case was tried at the last Assizes of Nor-
folk, before the Chief Justice. A rule was ob-
tained during the present Te►m, to thew cause why
a non-suit should tint be entered up.
Mr. Serjelint BLOSSETT, in support of the rule,
contended that the verdict could nut stand.
The action war brought try Mr: Stewart against
the Sheriff fur taking under execution and setting
up to sale a certain windmill. Stewart was the
mortgagee of a person of the name ofßurgess. who
was seised in fee of certain lands on which he
erected the windmill, and best}( iudebted to Mr.
Stewart in a sum of 11,0001., he mortgaged the
lands to Stewart, and in the mortgage expressly
meutio•ed the mill. Burgess, however. remain-
ed in possession, and carried on his business
as • miller as usual. Proceedings at law having
been taken against him at the suit of a third per-
son, au execution was issued, and the mill was set
up to sale by the Sheriff. In consequence of which.
Stewart, as mortgagee, brought his action, and
obt•ioed • verdict.
The CIIIEY JUSTICE said he saw sin reason to
disturb the verdict. There was a mortgage not
merely of the laud, but of the windmill thereon.
It was therefore unnecessary to consider whether
granting the laud would or would nut be a legal
grant of the windmill erected oir it. But it was
said that possession was not taken, and that pus'es-
sioti did not follow the deed ; for this purpose the
case of Edwards*. _Harvey was referred to. Of that
case he would say, that it was essentially departed
from, and 'sorrowed by a mmilwr of subsequent
cases. Tasking possession of the land was taking
possession of the mill. The mortgage, too, was
merely a conditional coriveyaoce, and he wee of
opinion that possession followed the deed au the
only wily in which it could follow.
