What Boston Adthors and Publishers are
Doing The Holiday Book Trade.
From our own Correspondent


Lee & Shepard have just brought out
another novel by Miss Amanda Douglas,
"The Foes of Her Household which was
good enough TO interest me in way that
few novels now have the power to do. In
brief it is the story of young girl who
had an aunt. and by her was quite uncon
sciously made to marry an invalid youth
while living abroad, who died one day.

disgust of her new relatives across the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
How 10 Affects Money Lenders who Take
Mortgage Security.


To the Editor of the Free Press:
Brief reference has been made in these
columns to the recent decision in the long
contested suit, Henry G. Hin VS. Ira and
ii. II. Hill of Isle La Motto, but more
definite information will be Of interest as
the result is Il surprise to money lenders
who take mortgage security. The facts
are these. The plaintiff Henry c. Hill
foreclosed mortgage against Ira HILL the
final decree expiring November 26, 1876.
few days before said decree expired Ira
fhl, defendant. brought an injunction
against Henry &. Hill, the plaintiff re
stralning him from taking possession of
the property at the expiration of the de
cree, claiming that the amount of tire
original mortgage was too large. The
chancellor, Judge Royce, in granting the
injunction, required the defendant to exc
cute bond in the sum of $1,000, to indem
niiy the plaiutlf against all cost and
| damage, IN consequence OF aid injunc-
ton Upon this bond H. II. Hill became
security to Ira Hill, and it was upon this
oohd that the suit Just terminated, was
brought.
Thus suit was referred to Henry G..
Adaus to decide and report to the court,
ana the referee reported that the delen-
daul, Ira Hill and II. II. Hill should pay
the Plaintiff II. G. Hill 1850 per year for
/ two years for the use of the premises while
| the injunction was in force. At the hear
| ing before the referee II. IL Hin testified
| that the property when it went into the
possession of II. &. Hill was worth more
| than the original debt, costs and interest.
II. {. Hi claimed that the value of the
premises had nothing to do with the de
| PENDANTS liability on the bond. The
/ County Court rendered judgment for the
| defendants with costs, exceptions being
taken by the plaintiff to the Supreme
Court and it is now stated that the Su-
preme Court has decided in favor of the
defendants, on the ground that nasmuch
It's the premises were worth as much a.
the debts, costs ana interest due the
plaintiff, there was no damage.
The following questions arise: If the
pirng November %, 1876, was absolutely
how could the court fail to allow him the
rents and profits, the property not being
redeemed
If he property did not belong to the
plaintiff under the decree, what title ha.
he?
Why give bond if there was no liability
If parties can take Il mans property tol
two or three years, can they not take i
! forever
