New Jersey Court of Chancery October 15, 1886 (Westervelt v. Voorhis)

Van Fleet, V. C.

The question to be decided in this case is whether the mortgage on which the complainant’s action is founded is void or not, as against the defendant. The complainant seeks to foreclose k mortgage made to him by Henry H. Voorhis, on the 3d of June, 1883, to secure $1,000. The mortgage was not recorded at the time of its execution, nor for more than two years afterwards.
