Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided October 29, 1913No. 2,548PublishedCited by 7 opinions

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Georgia; Wm. T. Newman, Judge. Suit in equity by F. C. Shackelford, trustee in bankruptcy of J. N. Webb, against the National Bank of Athens. Decree for complainant, and defendant appeals.

1Per curiam

The evidence in this case tends strongly to show that, although the mortgage given by the bankrupt to the appellant was for a valid consideration and effective as between the parties thereto, the same by understanding, if not agreement, was withheld from record, so as not to affect the.mortgagor’s credit; and we therefore concur with the trial judge in his disposition of the case.

The decree appealed from is affirmed.
