Sir Ralph Bovey v Skipwith: 1671

Mortgage Priorities

In 1651, Sir Francis Drake made the Plaintiff a Security out of the Manor and Rectory of Waltham upon Thames. Afterwards in 1656, Drake made the Defendant a Security for Money out of the Rectory only (the Defendant having no Notice then of the Plaintiff’s Security which was for Money also). Afterwards tha Defendant hearing of the Plaintiffs Security, buys in a Security precedent to the Plaintiff’s which one Beddingfield had both upon the Manor and Rectory.
1. Question was, ‘Whether the Plaintiff should be admitted to redeem Beddingfield’s Security without paying off what was due to Skipwith? And it was ruled he should not. Vide Marsh and Lee’s Case.
2. Question was, Whether inasmuch as the Defendant’s Security was only out of the Rectory, and the Security he bought in from Beddingfield was of both the Manor and Rectory, the Defendant should make Use of Beddingfield’s Security as to the Manor after that by the Profits of the Manor and Rectory Beddingfield’s Debt was satisfied ? And whether then the Plaintiff should not then be admitted to enjoy the Manor, his Security being as well of the Manor as the Rectory, and the Defendant to hold only the Rectory till he was satisfied.
Wyld and Twisden were of Opinion, That after Skipwith had received what was due on Beddingfield’s Security, he should receive no more Profits of the Manor, but the Plaintiff to be let in to receive them, and the Defendant only to make use of Beddingfield’s Security, as to the Rectory, to protect his Security of the Rectory. But it was resolved and ruled, that the Defensant should hold both the Manor and Rectory against the Plaintiff, till all due to him on both Securities was paid him. Quaere tamen.
