(1) When a tenant in tail covenants to suffer a recovery to bar the remainders over, no time should be lost in perfecting it; as if he die before it be done, the issue will not be bound by the covenant, even though entered into for a valuable consideration; Coventry v. Coventry, 2 P. Wms. 222; or by an infant tenant in tail on her marriage, Leeky v. Knox, 1 Ball. and Beat. 210; because the issue comes in by the statute de donis alone, and not as deriving from his ancestor who contracted; Powell v. Powell, Prec. Ch. 278. Fox v. Crane, 2 Vern. 306; except only in respect of an appointment to a charity, which will bind the remainder man without fine or recovery, Tay v. Slaughter, Prec. Ch. 16. Attorney Gen. v. Rye, 2 Vern. 453; and such covenant, or even a covenant for further assurance generally, will, it seems, be binding upon the lands in the hands of assignees of the tenant in tail becoming bankrupt, or of others. See Sutton v. Stone, 2 Atk. 101. Tourle v. Rand, 2 Brow. Ch. Ca. 650, and Edwards v. Applebee, there cited, p. 652 (n). Pye v. Danbuz, 3 ibid. 595.

Deed of Covenant from a Mortgagee for Re-delivering Title Deeds to the Mortgagor, on Re-payment of the Mortgage Money and for producing them in the meantime (1).

THIS INDENTURE made the

day of

in the

year of the reign, &c. and in the year of our Lord 18, BETWEEN (the mortgagee) of, &c. of the one part, and (the mortgagor) Recital of mort- of, &c. of the other part. WHEREAS by indenture of demise and

mortgage bearing even date with these presents, and made or ex-
pressed to be made between the same persons as are parties hereto,
certain lands and hereditaments therein particularly described,
were demised unto the said (mortgagee), his executors, administra-
tors, and assigns, for the term of 500 years, for securing the repay-
ment of the sum of L
and interest, on the
day of
now next ensuing. AND WHEREAS upon the execution of
the said in part recited indenture the several deeds and evidences of
title relating to the said hereditaments mentioned and set forth in the
schedule hereunder written were delivered to the said (mortgagee).
AND WHEREAS the said (mortgagee), at the request of the said
(mortgagor), hath agreed to enter into such covenant for redeliver-
ing the same unto the said (mortgagor), his heirs and assigns, upon
repayment of the said sum of £
with interest, and for pro-
ducing them in the mean time as hereinafter is contained.

Intent of the deed.

(1) The principal intent of a deed of this kind is to prevent the expense of a counterpart of the mortgage deed. When therefore such a counterpart is holden by the mortgagor, this deed of covenant may be dispensed with, and where the mortgagor is tenant for life or trustee, and therefore particularly bound to take care of the title deeds for the reversioner or cestui que trust, or where he has himself covenanted with a purchaser or others for the production and delivery of attested copies of them, it is highly reasonable that a deed of this kind should accompany the mortgage.
