JUDICIAL DECISIONS If a mortgagor dies insolvent, and there is no administration on mortgagor’s estate, and the equity of redemption has been sold, the mortgagee may proceed to foreclose, in equity, against such purchaser and the purchaser’s vendees. May & Stokes v. Rawson, 21 Ga. 461, 1857 Ga. LEXIS 88 (1857). Sale. - If, pending a regular proceed-

ing to foreclose a mortgage upon realty given by a testator, the executor validly sells the mortgaged property, this will bar the rendition of a judgment of foreclosure. Reed v.
