or Elizabeth Borst deceased Sarah p. T. Borst John
Becker Borst William II. Borst and others. bcne-
hciaries under the will. to foreclose . mortgage
given by S. b. NJ. Stokes executor of Mrs. Eliza
beth Bors. The complaint simply alleged that
Stokes. as executor made the mortgage without set
ting mp the will of Mrs. Borst its probate Ex-
Judge Curtis. who appeared for Miss s. p. T.
Borst. objected to the evidence OF the will
and its probate because it had not becn
set up in the pleadings. and he further contendod
that the estate of Elizabeth Borst was largely in.
debted to the trust estate of Stephen b. Mum. de-
ceased in which estate Mrs. Elizabeth Borst had only
life interest the property aftor her death to 60 to
her children. He also urged that there was no
authority vested in Mrs. Borst. under the will OF
Stephen b. Mum, to mortgage tho trust
estate, and that the property encum-
bered subject to the prior lien OF the
trust estate of Mum to which Elizabeth Borst
died largely indebted. MIR. f. De Peyster Foster in
reply. insisted that the mortgage had parted with
his money in good faith. and he hoped the Court
would not subject his client to great Q hardship
the loss of his money. Judge Van Brunt in Su.
preme Court Special Term who heard the case, said
tnat IL his duty 70 decide according to the law
governing the matter at ISSUE that he would the
papers, that counsel might hand in later their briefs
on the subject. and that he would give the case .
