JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Evidence showing single mortgage in fact several.

- Where a single mortgage is taken for two separate amounts due to two distinct parties, in legal effect it is equivalent to two mortgages taken contemporaneously upon the same property; and upon a suit by one of the parties secured thereunder against the other, it is permissible to show that the mortgage was collected as to only one of the amounts secured, and not as to the other. Bass v. West Point Whsle. Grocery Co., 5 Ga. App. 746, 62 S.E. 1004 (1908).

Cited in Russell v. C.D. Carr & Co., 38 Ga. 459 (1868).
