Suit to foreclose a mortgage of real estate, brought to and tried by the Court of Common Pleas in Hartford County, Coats, J.; facts found and judgment rendered for the defendant, and appeal by the plaintiff.
1Opinion of the CourtPrentice, J.
The plaintiff, by his complaint dated February 14th,-1910, seeks the foreclosure of a mortgage of real estate, given May 17th, 1872, to secure the payment of a negotiable note for $300, of even date, and payable on demand after date, with interest from date.
A negotiable instrument expressed to be payable “on demand after date” is payable on demand, and it is so payable although it is made to bear interest from date. Fenno v. Gay, 146 Mass. 118, 15 N.
