[ * 148 ]
An injunction lies against a mortgagor, in possession of the mortgaged premises, to stay waste.
June 15th.
THE bill was filed by the plaintiff, a mortgagee, for an injunction to stay waste in cutting timber on the mortgaged premises, whereby the land would become an insufficient security for the debt. There was no suit pending for a foreclosure.

Opinion:
The Chancellor.
An injunction lies against a mortgagor in possession to stay waste. The Court will not suffer him to prejudice the security. (Dick. Rep. 75. 3 Atk. 210. 237. 3 Vesey, 105.)
Injunction granted.
