Opie v Godolphin: 1720

One who lends money on a security, which he is advised by a lawyer to be a good one, yet if it proves otherwise, and he has notice, that another made title to it, he must deliver up all the writings relating to it, but not the mortgage deed, for there may be covenants in that for payment of the money.
