an eye-sore to the community, and a
sight that it was u pity that strangers
should see. 1t is OF made earth, the

The defendants were part OF posse

turned the fire in self-defense. one OF
them was wounded and their horses
shot several times. Several hundred
shots We're exchanged and during the
firing some cattle. who were in the vi

Afterwards the defendants were arrest

BOARD OF EDUCATION v. PURSE.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-02-12

This was an action commenced be-
fore Justice of the Peace for n horse
and a COW, which, with other property.
were conveyed in mortgage 10 secure
debt. The debt secured was $2l, and
The property sued for was found by the
jury to be worth $l7. The whole prop
crty included in the mortgage was
worth more than $50. The defendant
moved to dismiss the action for the
reason that this was a splitting up of
the plaintiffs claim in order 10 get
jurisdiction before Justice. where
Jurisdiction is limited to $50 in an ac-
ton for the possession OF property. The
lower court dismissed the action. The
Supreme Court i'll everything that judg-
ment, says:
1T is said that this is an action to
foreclose the mortgage and that Il JUS
tice of the Peace has no equitable jur-
isdiction. And it is true that a magis-
trate has no equitable jurisdiction. But
is il not true that this is an action TO
fcreclose the mortgage. Ii is Il legal
action for the possession OF property,
and is what would have been an actio!.
of rcpicvin under the old practice.
After default and refusal to siirrend-
er possession to the MORTGAGE. the
MORTGAGE becomes, in law. the Absolute
owner of the mortgaged DroDertv
though the mortgager had the right to
redeem until the properly is sold: and
the mortgage is entitled TO the same
remedy against him for the possession
that he would have against any other
person who had the possession of his
property. The right of the mort
gaeee to possession continues as long
as any part of the nortgaged debt re-
mains due. This being an action for
the possession and not on contract. the
Justices jurisdiction is limited To $50 in
amounts SO there is no want of
Jurisdiction, unless The plaintiff was
compelled to bring his action for all the
property named in the mortgages. The
fact that plaintiff brought his action
for part OF the property conveyed in
the mortgage does not fall within the
rule against splitting up a debt on con-
tract to acquire jurisdiction. for the
reason that it is not brought on con-
tract 1t seems to have been set
