Remarks on
the precedent

(a) The precedent in the text is a very unusual form of transfer when a further sum is advanced; for, in such case, the original debt and the further advance are generally amalgamated, as in the next precedent, and the transfer is made with a new proviso and covenants, as in an original mortgage. (See the observations on the first method of transfer, supra, p. 643, n. (a), and see too the next precedent). In the case, however, to which the precedent in the text was adapted, mortgages had been made of the equity of redemption, which compelled the transfer of the existing mortgage to be made subject to the existing equity of redemption, (see supra, p. 644, n.). The further advance would of course be postponed to the mesne incumbrances.

The precedent in the text may be easily adapted to the case of a common transfer, subject to the existing equity of redemption, by detaching the parts which relate to the further advance.

And

It is to be observed, that interest converted into principal must be considered in the light of a further advance, and clearly cannot be so converted without the concurrence of the mortgagor. (Earl of Macclesfield v. Fitton, 1 Vern. 169; 1 Cha. Ca. 68; Ashenhurst v. James, 3 Atk. 271; Anon. 2 Cha. Ca. 258, overruling some earlier cases) even with the concurrence of the mortgagor, interest cannot be converted into principal as against subsequent incumbrancers. (Digby v. Craggs, Amb. 612; S. C. 2 Eden, 200). But it seems that the rule does not apply to the conversion of costs and expenses into principal. (Godfrey v. Watson, 3 Atk. 518; Manlove v. Bale, 2 Vern. 84). See more on the subject of interest, supra, p. 510, n. (ƒ).

and made or expressed to be made between the said C. D. of the one part, and the said A. B. of the other part, in consideration of the sum of £500 to the said C. D. paid by the said A. B., the said C. D. did covenant with the said A. B., his executors, administrators, and assigns, that the said hereditaments comprised in the said indenture of the day of [the mortgage deed], should be charged with and be a security for the repayment as well of the said sum of £1,000 and interest as of the said sum of £500, with interest for the same, after the rate of £5 per cent. per annum; and in the said indenture now in recital was contained a covenant by the said C. D. with the said A. B., his executors and administrators, for payment of the said sum of £500 and interest: AND WHEREAS the said sums of £1,000 and £500 (making together the sum of £1,500) are still due and owing upon the respective securities aforesaid, but all interest on the same respectively has been paid up to the day of the date of these of agreement presents (b): AND WHEREAS the said E.

for transfer.

As to the date

of transfers of mortgages.

(b) When the transfer is made, subject to the existing equity of redemption, the recital in the text, as to the payment of interest, will serve if it bear date on one of the half-yearly days of payment of interest. And it is much more convenient, that the transfer should bear such date, for otherwise the mortgagee must be paid the accrued interest, either by the mortgagor or the transferee. If the mortgagor pay him, the old covenant for half-yearly payment of interest will cease to be available, as the future half-yearly payments must be computed from the date of the transfer, and the provisions of the power of sale, and any other provisions which relate to the days of payment of interest, will cease to be applicable. If the transferee pay the accrued interest, he advances it till the next half-yearly day of payment, without receiving any interest for that advance, and of course he is seldom willing to do so. Perhaps the best course is, for the mortgagor to pay the interest up to the day of transfer, and to covenant with the transferee for the payment of the proportionate interest from the day of the transfer up to the next halfyearly day of payment, and for half-yearly payments thenceforward. (See the covenant for payment of interest, infra). It can hardly be thought, that this contravenes the rule as to interest stated supra, p. 510, n. (f).

When the transfer is made with a new proviso for redemption, and new covenants and a new power of sale, the date of the transfer is immaterial.
