1Opinion of the CourtHead, J.

The bill was filed in this case to set aside the mortgage made by E. B. F. Kindred and the complainant, his wife, to the appellee, after the mortgage had been .foreclosed and the appellee had become the absolute owner of the premises. In such case, under our decisions, the objection cannot be raised that the appellee was a foreign corporation at the time of the execution of the mortgage, and did not have in this State a known place of business and an authorized agent or agents therein. — Farrior v. New England Mort. Security Co., 88 Ala. 275; Gamble v. Caldwell, 98 Ala. 577.
