regretable features of the failure of s.
w. Mclaughlin was developed in Judge
Fisk's court 1t was in the case of the
Union Mutual Life Insurance company
VS.. Philip Rorke, farmer living in the
town Of Rye, which was decided by the
court in favor of the plaintiff. The de-
PENDANT gave a mortgage on his farm
to the company, and according to the
evidence, shortly before the mortgage
became due, he paid the amount due to
Mclaughlin. The company did not re-
ceive the money from Mclaughlin, and
brought suit for the foreclosure of the
mortgage or payment of the claim. The
court holds that in receiving this money
as he did, Mr.. Mclaughlin acted us

defendant. Mr.. Rorke will therefore be
called upon to pay the amount of the
mortgage-some $1,1OO-a second time.
