6 Dakota 119

Obern v. Gilbert

Supreme Court Of The Territory Of Dakota · decided 1888-10-15

W. E. Church, Judge. This was an action by George Obern against Sarah A. Gilbert and. Nathan S. Gilbert, to foreclose a mortgage. The mortgage was given to secure the payment of fourteen promissory notes of $114.28 each. It was dated September 1, 1878, matured in fifteen months, and was upon three lots, one of which was a homestead. It contained a provision that upon the payment of $1,000, the homestead lot should be released.

Decided 1888-10-15

By the Court :

¶1This case is reversed on the ground that the district court erred in subjecting the homestead lot to the mortgage, it having been discharged therefrom by payment under the terms of the mortgage. There was no breach of the covenants of the mortgage upon which the mortgagee could recover.

All concur.
