defalcation or misapplication. Thus, where a trustee for the benefit of receiver's decreditors became bankrupt, having retained a sum of money belonging to the trust for three years unapplied, it was held, that the creditors and not the debtor should bear the loss. (Hutchinson v. Lord Massarene, 2 Ball & Beatt. 49).

Sometimes it is provided, that the receiver shall not be liable for involuntary losses; (see the form, supra, p. 617); but it is considered, that, even in the absence of stipulation, a receiver will not be liable for losses which may occur in the proper discharge of his duty. (Knight v. Lord Plymouth, 3 Atk. 480; S. C. 1 Dick. 120). Of course, however, he will be liable for losses which may occur by means of his own conduct. (Wren v. Kirton, 11 Ves. 377; Salway v. Salway, 2 Russ. & My. 215. See, too, the cases of Macdonnell v. Harding, 7 Sim. 178; Clough v. Dixon, 8 Sim. 594).

(g) This proviso will of course be omitted if it be intended that the receiver shall forthwith enter into the possession of the rents and profits. But the usual practice is to postpone his entering on his office till default has been made in payment of interest. (See supra, n. (a) ).

(a) The precedent in the text is that of a draft intended to be indorsed on the mortgage deed, and, if circumstances will permit, deeds of further charge should always be so indorsed, in order to avoid the necessity of reciting the mortgage-deed. It sometimes, however, happens, that from the situation of the mortgagor's abode, to which the deed must be sent

named C. D. and E. F., [mortgagees], of the other part: WHEREAS the within-mentioned sum of £2,000 remains due and owing to the said C. D. and E. F. by the said A. B. upon the security of the within-written indenture, but all interest for the same has been paid up to the

day of

past: AND WHEREAS the said C. D. and E. F. have agreed, at the request of the said A. B., to advance and lend him the further sum of £500 out of monies belonging to them upon a joint account, on having the repayment of the said sum of £500, with interest for the same after the rate hereinafter mentioned, secured in manner hereinafter mentioned. NOW THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH, that, in pursuance of the said agreement, and in consideration of the sum of £500 at or immediately &c., the receipt &c., (supra, p. 465), He the said A. B. doth hereby for himself, his heirs, executors, and administrators, covenant with the said C. D. and E. F., their executors and administrators, that he the said A. B., his heirs, executors, or administrators, shall and will pay or cause to be paid unto the said C. D. and E. F., or the survivor of them, or the executors or administrators of such survivor, their or his assigns, the sum of £500, with interest for the same after the rate of £- per cent. per annum, on the day of next ensuing the date of these presents, without any deduction or abatement for any present or future taxes or impositions, or any other matter, cause, or thing whatsoever; and in case the said sum of £500 shall not be paid on the said day of, shall and will thenceforth, during the continuance of this present security, pay or cause to be paid unto the said C.

for execution, or from other circumstances, it is not convenient to indorse the further charge on the original mortgage. In that case the deed of further charge should commence by reciting the mortgage in the usual way, (see infra, p. 644), setting out the parcels in the recital; and the subsequent parts of the instrument must refer to the recited deed, instead of to the within-written deed; "within mentioned" will become "said; " and the parties will be described in the usual manner. The draft will not in other respects differ from the indorsed deed, of which the precedent is given.
