Mi. Magec, the receiver. had made
application to the chancellor for an
order to sell the whole plant of the
deiunct company including the water
tank, in order that all outstanding
debts might be paid.
Officials of the Tippet and Wood
Company claimed that under the con
tract the water tank was still their
property and that they had a right
to remove ii before the sale of the
property by the receiver.
Chancellor Curtis held that the
court was not bound by the decision
Of the Superior Court in the case
Of the Watertown Company against
Davis, and that Tippet and Wood
Company had a right to claim the
tank as against the mortgage, even
though there had been a mortgage
against the property. The chancellor
also held that in this case "The after
acquired property clause" III the
mortgage did not give to the mort
gagee any right against tho Tippot
and Wood Company The holder Of
the mortgages he said. could not
have relied upon the tank as security.
This Is the first case in which a
similar question had 70 be decided
since the case in Superior Court Of
the Watertown Company against
Davis in 1870 in which the charge to
the Jury was made by Chief Justice
