McKIM AND KENNEDY VS. MASON. 191
panying account, A, is $24,427 27, being a deficiency of
something upwards of $3,000.
On the 15th of November, 1845, the Powhatan Company,
by its deed of that date, conveyed the mortgaged premises
and the ten acres to William Mason, and on the same day
Mason executed a mortgage to James Wilson, of all the pro-

the Bank, together with the ten acres which were not included
therein.
Subsequently, in the years 1847 and 1848, Mason erected
a new cotton mill on the premises, for manufacture of cotton

of said machinery, which are enumerated and described in the
instrument to the Savage Company, to secure the payment of
the money. An objection has been taken to this mortgage,
upon the ground that the affidavit required by the 1st section
of the<A.ct of 1846, ch. 271, was not made by the mortgagee.
The affidavit was, in fact, made by George Williams, agent
and treasurer of the Company, and this, I think, is quite suffi-
cient to rescue it from the objection, under the provisions of
the 2d section of the supplement to the original Act, passed at
December Sessions, 1847, ch. 805. The objection, though
thrown out in the argument, was not much insisted on.
