cred as n deed OF the land which re.
vests the title In the original owner or
his successor on the paying of OF the
mortgage or the bond or note which
the mortgage secures.
Mortgages are recorded I'm public
offices, called registers. recorders or
county clerks offices. I'm much the same
way that deeds are. 80 that any one
buying the land is bound TO take no.

facts as n search of the title I'm these
public Offices would reveal.
III, however, the holder OF the mort
gage does not cause the mortgage to
be recorded then any innocent pur-
chaser OF the land can take Il clear of
the lien OF the mortgage.
