1. ““It will be perceived that actions for relief, other than for the recovery of money only, are excepted from- tbe operations of this act. Does an action for the foreclosure of a mortgage come within this designation? An action for tbe recovery of money only is one where it is sought to reduce a debt to judgment, upon which an execution may issue, and be levied upon the property of a defendant not exempt. An action to foreclose a mortgage is brought for the purpose of determining, by the judgment of the court, the amount due, and subjecting the lands mortgaged to the payment of the same. Such an action is not one for the recovery of money only, and clearly comes within the section named.””
