(b) It is extremely difficult in mortgages of this kind to frame a convenient and efficacious power of sale. The power is sometimes given to all the mortgagees, and the survivors and survivor of them, and the heirs of such survivor, their or his assigns, so as to make the power run with the land; but it may occasion inconvenience to give the power to the heirs of the survivor, since those heirs may be infants or may be unknown.

And it is certainly desirable, that each set of mortgagees should have a power of sale independent of the other, and this is the aim of the form in the text. The language, however, of the precedent, does not seem to be so distinct as is desirable. The introduction of two separate powers of sale, each complete in itself, would be effective, but would so greatly increase the length of the deed that it could not be justified without evident necessity.

(c) The precedent departs from the usual form in not mentioning any person to whom the notice may be delivered. This happens from part of the mortgaged estates being in settlement, which would occasion some difficulty in pointing out the persons to whom the notice should be given. Sometimes the notice is directed to be addressed " to the persons or person for the time being entitled to the equity of redemption of the said premises."
