The Court Of Appeals last week de-
ivered the following interesting decision
On the question OF the ownership of an
answered crop when the real estate is
sold under mortgage. Judge Me-
Sherry delivered the opinion of the
court:
The question 10 this case is new one
in Maryland Il IS this: Can a mort
gagqr, whose mortgage is in default,
plant crop and then execute a bill OF
sale of that crop to third person, and
thereby deprive the purchaser of the
mortgaged farm from flaming the grow
ing crop, if the farm be sold under the
mortgage while the crop is still growing
rhe veudee under the bill of sale brought
an action Of trover against the purchaser
OF the farm for the value of the crop
TIE crop was planted when the mort
gage was overdue The mortgagor sold
the crop by bill of sale to the person
who furnished the fertilizer with which
tue crop was planted. Before the crop
was ripe end before it was harvested the
mortgage sold the farm under the mort
gage and the purchaser at that sale after
ward cut the crop and still holds it. The
Court holds that the ext cution of bill
sale by mortgagor does not construct
lively sever the crop from the land, and
that the crop was actually growing
aud was annexed to the land at the time
the land was sold it passed with the land tie
the purchaser and that the latter's right
to it is superior to the right claimed by
the vendor Of the fertilizer under the
bill of sale If the mortgage had not
been foreclosed until after the crop had
been cut by the mOrtgagor OF his vendor
the title which the bill OF sale conveyed
would have been good Every person
who buys a crop growing on mor.gaged
land is liable to have his title to the
crop defeated if the mortgage be fore
closed aud the land with the crop grow
ing on it be sold before the crop is act
ually severed all cut. Though grow
ing crop is for many purposes treatcC
and regarded as personal property, ye
until it is actually cut and severed from
the land it forms part of the mortgagee'
security for the payment of the debt du
to him, and he cannot be deprived o
that security if he forecloses the mort
gage and sells the land while the crop
still standing.

As there seems to be a genera. desire
to make some change in the local gov
ernment Of eur county, and as the as
sembling Of the Legislature is near at
hand few hasy conclusions at this
time on the subject may not be ill-ad-
vised; The ycxing questions, are, what
to DO about our public roads, and the
collection Of taxes The hasty and un-
thinking public may attack our road
system all they please, but we are of the
opinion that it is the best system IN the
State. Both parties have had hand
at mending our roads uu1er it, and the
result has been the same The difficulty
is not in the system, but lies in the fact
that the amount of money allotted for
that internal improvement is utterly in
sufficient for the purpose. Under the
E1elen law still; IN existance, but $4,000
is allowed to be expended on the public
roads. aud that amount is not more than
enough to repair the bad places that
occur from freshets and etc, and to keep
up the bridges. More money is wanted
aud there the trouble lies How to
raise it is the next question We are
taxed as far as we can stand. We
ought to have assistance from the State.
The State is comparatively out of debt
and can we'll afford to contribute annual
ly to building public highways-an in
ternal improvement of more Importance
than any other that could be made Bul
the constitution is in the way. 1t pro
hbits State aid to internal improve
msnts. The thing the to do is tt
amend the constitution so as to make an
exception in favor of appropriating
money for the public highways. 1t viii
be money well spent. Seeing and know
ing this, our members of the Legislature
ought to make an effort at the meeting
of the approaching General Assembly
in that direction.
1t is all folly to lay the charge eff ad
roads to the door step of the County
Commissioners We have had Demo
cratic boards and Republican boards,
and the result of the management of our
roads is all the same
There might be some improvement
to The pre- ent system. That is to say
a practical road superintendent might
be put over the entire corps, to direct
the work But all this is mere talk
withou, more money. We cannot EN-
ploy a road superintendent with the
small amount of money allowed to be
expended, nor can efficient road super
visors be employed at the small pittanct
