In tho case Of Murray vs.. Tho Farm

Judge Keith rendered the opinion.
This case Is one OF Interest, owing to
the fact that the question at ISSUE In
yolyed tho security provided for the
mortgage bonds Of the Farnville and
Powhatar Railroad Company, and the
further fact that five or six Of the lead
Ing Richmond banks held these bonds as
collateral security.

Brighthope Railroad, extending from Ber-
muda Hundreds. on james River, to Dpps
Fails, III Chesterfield county. In order TO-
pay for the Brighthope road and make
certain other improvements, 100000 Of
second mortgage bonds were issued
Thereafter the two systems wcro opc-
rated as one road
In October, 1890, the Tarmville and
Powhatan Railroad Company went into
tho hands Of q receiver, and the question
at once arose as to what part Of tho road
secured the bonds under the two mort
cages the holders Of the first mortgage
bonds contenhing that their bonds were
secured as a first lien on the entire line.
This was denied by Murray, the holder
OF the second mortgage bonds. The court;
held that the second mortgage bonds were
q first lien on that part Of the Farmville
and Powhatan Railroad which was for
merlyt the Brighthope road, thus reversing
the decree of the Richmond court
