Mortgage Foreclosure and Lien Dispute In Boston Cases

In a series of linked defenses in 1882 Boston area cases a mover stored mortgaged goods after a foreclose deed appeared. The court allowed recovery to the mortgagee for storage and for the removal of goods by Sherman, citing necessity to avoid exposure loss. Separate suits involved a horse and wagon conversion with attached property, admissibility of receipts, and a constable’s attachment directed by Wright Bros. The final ruling held that a prior equity bill amounted to no bar to current suit, and the city of Boston tax case concluded with the bill dismissed not constituting a merits decision, as tested in the Norton v Boston line.
