Supreme Court of Connecticut December 18, 1908 (Ludington v. Merrill)

Hall, J.

This is an action to foreclose a mortgage on a piano, given to secure the payment of the defendant’s note for $80. It was brought to the City Court of Waterbury, and the foreclosure of the mortgage was the only relief demanded in the original complaint. The amount of the matter in demand was therefore $80, the amount of the debt secured by the mortgage.
