Laws 1929, §§ 13498, 13499), a mortgagee was not entitled to possession of the mortgaged premises, or to the rent, income, and profits therefrom, until after foreclosure and expiration of the equity of redemption, by reason of Act No. 62, Laws of 1843, (3 Comp. Laws of 1929, § 14956). Wagar v. Stone, 36 Mich. 364 ; Hazeltine v. Granger, 44 Mich. 503 . We have held that under a mortgage executed prior to the enactment of Act No. 228, Pub. Acts 1925 (3 Comp.
