AT a Court of Nisi Prius, held at Carlisle, a case was stated for the opinion of the Court, containing these facts: A tract of land, in Cumberland county, was mortgaged by John Glenn, to the trustees of the loan office (whose rights, powers, and duties, have been transferred by law to the plaintiff, as state treasurer) and the land was afterwards levied upon, and sold at a sheriff's sale, to the defendant, by virtue of a subsequent judgment and execution. The question is, whether the mortgage remains a lien upon the land, against the purchasor at sheriff's sale?
By the COURT:
The case admits of no doubt. Judgment must be entered for the plaintiff.
