Johnson v Royal Mail Steam Packet Co: 1867

‘Without entering into the question of mortgages of land further than to say we have given it out consideration – the case of a mortgagee and mortgagor of a ship appears to be one of a quite different complexion, because the mortgagee so long as he does not interfere and claim possession, may fairly be taken to have allowed the mortgagor to enter into all engagements for the employment of the ship of the sort usually entered into by a person who has the apparent control and ownership of a vessel.’
