Just before the transaction which was questioned in this action the Hip On and Yuen Shing, who had been only second mortgagese became first mortgagees by taking the assignment of the first mortgage for 160,000 from the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank; so that by being second mortgages and taking the transfer of the first mortgage they became first mortgagees for the whole of the two advances which amounted to $210,000. At that time they had all the ordinary rights of mortgageos. They could go into possession; they could bring an action for foreclosure; or they could sell muder the powers contained in the mortgages. They purported to Bell under the power infthe mortgage, but if that sale had been a good one it would have extinguished the mortgagore" equity of redemption, divested the two insurance companies of their legal estate, and passed over the whole of the estate, free from encumbrances, from Kwok Yik Ting, The judgment in this action amounted to a declaration that that sale must be set aside as it was a bad axle, und also that the necessary rectifications in the rogister be made. By that judgment alone the title to the property, as distinguished from the rights of the parties, was affected only by the notice, because there was notice to a the world that the apparent a party. holders of the legal estate and not got a complete title.
