CULLEN, J.

In December, 1891, the plaintiff was the owner of a farm of some 32 acres, which she had purchased in the year previous for the sum of $6,500. The plaintiff paid for the farm by the execution of a mortgage for the whole amount of the purchase money, secured by a collateral mortgage on other property owned by her.
