the mortgagor that the premises shall stand and be a security as well for the last sum advanced and interest as for the former loan, and that the mortgagee shall stand seised of the premises "in trust, out of the rents and profits of the hereditaments to raise such sums of money as will pay off as well the sum last advanced and interest as the former sum and interest, and subject thereto, to the (mortgagor in fee.") If an attendant term has been assigned in the mortgage, the further charge should contain a declaration that the trustee shall stand possessed of the term, in trust for securing as well the sum last advanced as the sum before lent, with interest on them both.

It may be useful to notice, for the guidance of trustees having money to invest, that, in a recent case, Stickney v. Sewell, 1 M. and Cr. 8, the present Lord Chancellor, when Master of the Rolls, stated, that to advance two-thirds of the value of property is admitted to be within the rule of ordinary prudence, but, added the learned judge, that is with reference to property of a permanent value, as freehold land. The same rule does not apply to property in houses, which fluctuates in value, and is always deteriorating.
