DUCKER VS. BELT. 15 To the payment of a Judgment in favor of Herman H. Perry, against the mortgagor, rendered at January term, 1840, of Baltimore County Court. Thirdly, To the payment of a simi lar Judgment in favor of the State of Maryland, use of Samuel Wilson, rendered at September term 1845, leaving a residue of $319 95, which was assigned to the defendant, Belt.
