Mr. Teese explained and advocated
the bill. Formerly the Circuit Courts
had power to foreclose mortgages but
in 1858 supplement was quietly in

repealed the former law, and this made
the Court Of Chaneery the only Court
where mortgages could be foreclosed- -
as under the law, as it now is, the law
courts cannot foreclose one mortgage
in hundred and as the Court Of
Chancery was now closed, this was a
serious embarrassment to the people.
