little lemon acid. When the rawness OF
the wine and lemon is gone 80 that no
flavor predominates, pour it into o tureen
and serve hot to table.
A Swiss SoUP.-Boil three pounds of

The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1870-01-12

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Canton Miss. Mail says
that decision of great interest has been rendered by
the High Court of the county to the effect that
chant who had advanced money and supplies, taking
mortgage therefor the crop raised by lessee, has
prior claim the lessor of the plantation. Also, in
the same case that promissory note, executed by he
lessee in favor of parties furnishing mules, wagons,
etc. is prior in its claim to the rent due the landlord
This decision delivered by Judge Peyton, is made on
the ground that the mortgage filed in favor Of the par
ties advancing money and supplies, before the attach
ment had been made by the landlord, entitled the
mortgages to prior satisfaction of their claim out of
the property covered. And the written contract made
to the parties who had furnished the mules, wagons
etc. being enrolled in circuit court, becomes lien
under statute of 1867, upon the equity Of redemp
ton of the property embraced in the mortgage to the
mortgagees except that which is exempt by law from
levy and sale under execution. Quoting from the
opinion of the court
Rent is not per lien on goods found on the
demised premises. 1t binds as lien only when the
goods are seized under attachment for rent. In
the meantime he may SELL dispose of, or cucumber the
same bona fd and for valuable consideration, notwh
standing the existence of debt for rent, the power Of
alienation by the tenant exists until the goods are
seized under attachment for rent without any ln
tation restriction on account of rent"
The mortgage given to one party and promlssory
another having specific liens on the property in
controversy, anterior in point OF time to the at
tachment for rent on the part of the landlord, and
entitled in the opinion of the court to prior sat
isfaction.
