Supreme Court of Florida July 1, 1853 (McGriff v. Porter)

THOMPSON, J.:

This is a suit for foreclosure of mortgage, which was instituted by the appellant, who was complainant in the Circuit Court, and the decision of the case turns upon the character of the instrument set up in the bill, and a copy of which is exhibited therewith, whether it is a mortgage as is. asserted by the complainant, or a mere naked power as contended for by the respondents.
