New Ruling on Mortgages.

Chattel mortgages which do not
contain covenants prohibiting the sale
or removal of the mortgaged prop
erty by the mortgagor are not pro-
tected by the criminal laws of this
state. This was the ruling of our
district court in the matter of People
VS.. Weigandt. Our statute provides
that any mortgagor of personal prop
erty who, contrary TO the provisions
of the mortgage and without the writ
ten consent of the mortgagee, sells
or removes mortgaged property shall
be guilty of larceny. The court holds
that the statute means just what it
says and to make a mortgagee Grim
inally responsible for a sale or remov-
al the same must be made contrary
to the provisions of the mortgage.
None of the forms of chattel mort
cages in common use in this section
OF the country contain any such cove
nants AS this and sale by mort
gagor under these mortgages is no
criminal act.
