Supreme Court of Alabama November 15, 1902 (Romanoff Mining Co. v. Cameron)

TYSON, J.

It inay be conceded that the mortgage sought to be foreclosed by the. bill was invalid and yet, the decree of the chancellor • declaring a vendor’s lien in favor of the complainant under .the general prayer for relief, upon the facts averred, was .entirely correct, unless the defenses set up in the answer and cross-bill can be held to bar the recovery. — Joseph v. Decatur Land, Imp. & F.
