Roger palmer the young be the old son of that marriage and that he be a  purchaser under that settlement for a valuable consideration without notice  and insist on the same and the length of possession and the say statute of  king George I in bar to the relief seek by the respondent George jackson bill  the rest of the respondent also appear and put in their answer to the say bill  and the defendant Charles Lord archbishop of Dublin and charity black by their  answer admit they be two of the survive executor of Francis palmer decease and  the defendant Catherine Jackson by her answer admit she be the administratrix  of Oliver Jackson the father of the respondent George Jackson brown the  respondent George Jackson amend his bill several time and answer be put in  accord and the cause be at issue witness be examine and after several  abatement and revivors the cause come on to be hear on the that of march when  a redemption be decree of the land comprise in the mortgage make by Oliver  Jackson to sir John Davis and assign by Paul Davis his son to John Lovett in  trust for Francis palmer and which land be particular specify in the decree  except certain land therein mention which be mortgage by the say Oliver  Jackson the elder to William Knox decease and certain other land therein also  mention which appear to be the estate of the appellant Roger palmer the elder  upon payment of the principal and interest due on the foot of the say mortgage  as also the cost and expense which the mortgagee and their representative  respective be put to in defend their title to the say mortgage land with  interest for such cost and expense from the time they be pay and it be refer  to the master to take a account of what be due upon the foot of the say  mortgage for principal and interest and of the say cost and expense and to  report the interest thereof special and to take a account of what the  mortgagee make or without wilful default may have make of the say land since  the time that the say Paul Davis afterward Lord mount cashell first get the  possession thereof without regard have to the lease make by he in to the say  Francis palmer and Lord Charles ohara and also to take a account of what wood  be on the say land since the say Paul Davis first get the possession of the  mortgage premise who cut down the same and how they be dispose of and the  value of the say wood at the time they be so cut down and the consideration of  further direction be reserve till after the master shall have make his report  and it be further order that the bill so far as it relate to redeem a mortgage  make to John Knox a defendant therein name shall be dismiss without cost the  respondent George Jackson be a pauper from this decree the present appeal be  bring and on behalf of the appellant it be argue r Henley c York that the  practice of court of equity of relieve from the strict rule of law upon the  breach of a condition be to be govern by the power of give a adequate  compensation and where that can be do the law ought to take place in the  present case the court can not give any such compensation to the mortgagee for  it be well know that if they have be pay their principal and interest at any  time during the first year after the mortgage be brown er p make they may have  purchase in Ireland land in fee under indisputable title of much great yearly  value than the mortgage premise and as during that time the mortgagee often  call for their money and offer to account and be constant refuse both it will  be extreme hard to compel they to come to a account and be redeem after so  great a length of possession and such a alteration in the value both of land  and money since the time at brown which they have a right to be pay that it  have be often determine in court of equity that a redemption of a mortgage  shall not be decree where a mortgagee have be year in possession and there be  nothing in the present case which can take it out of the general rule on the  contrary this case be attend with circumstance sufficient to justify the make  such rule for it be evident that the difficulty of account be as great in this  case as it can be in any case whatever as well in regard to the fluctuation of  the value of land in Ireland at different period as by reason of the many suit  occasion by the carelessness or fraud of the first mortgagor who confound  together in the same mortgage deed land which he have before mortgage land  which be liable to other charge and land to which he have no right in  consequence of which the mortgagee be adjudge to pay dower to his wife which  she enjoy above forty year some part of the estate be evict by Kirkwood the  heir at law of Francis Jackson some part be always retain by Knox a prior  mortgagee and some part the mortgagee never can obtain the possession of as  belong to other person beside all which many of the party be dead or voucher  lose which be material to make out the account that the Irish statute of the  that of Geo I rely on by the appellant in their answer ought to be consider as  a bar to all equity of redemption in the respondent as no suit have ever be  bring by the mortgagor or those claim under he for a redemption from when the  mortgagee first enter upon the estate to when the respondent bill be file and  the statute be intend to quiet possession ought to receive a literal  construction against those who will disturb they to support the end for which  it be make and for this reason the several attempt of the respondent and his  ancestor to defeat the estate of the mortgagee by a title paramount can not be  construe as suit commence to redeem within the word or meaning of that act nor  can the suit commence by the mortgagee for a discovery of deed to support  their title against such attempt be construe within it that the court think  proper to dismiss the bill as to Knox mortgage and the case of the appellant  differ from his only in this that he have never be molest in the possession of  his security whereas it have be the misfortune of the appellant and those  under who they claim to have be perpetual harass deprive of some part of the  land comprise in their security other part evict and suit institute for the  rest it will therefore be severe and against conscience to consider offer  which they make for the sake of peace and which be so often reject as a  absolute waiver of the legal right acquire by length of possession on the  other side it be contend W Murray c Pratt that the estate in question be  original a mortgage and as such only have be always enjoy by the person under  who the appellant claim for Francis palmer purchase the estate as a mortgage  and so brown avow hold it down to the time of his death in during which time  he and Lord mount cashell file no less than five bill of foreclosure and after  his death Roger palmer his heir and executor with Edward Lord mount cashell  file a six bill for the same purpose at which time the respondent be a infant  and so continue till and within two year after he come of age he file the  present bill to redeem so that this estate by the act of both party be  consider as a redeemable estate home to the fill of the present bill in which  case a redemption must be decree of course unless some statute of limitation  bar or waiver have interfere to preclude the mortgagor from this common equity  it have be therefore insist by the appellant that they and the several person  derive under the mortgage have be in possession without interruption from till  when the bill be exhibit and that the respondent right to redeem be bar as  well by the statute of limitation as by the act that g no bill to redeem be  ever bring by the respondent or any of his ancestor before the bill of but to  this objection it be say that the original acquirement of the possession be  tortuous and illegal not in consequence of any judicial recovery but of  intrusion brown er p only whereby the mortgagee take advantage of the  confusion of the time and the imprisonment of the mortgagor and that this  possession have be ever since obtain by the like oppressive method favour by a  succession of animosity and the continue distress of the family who have  constant sue in the character of pauper against opulent and noble adversary  that all mortgage be couple with a trust be therefore not within the purview  of any statute of limitation and from the preamble to the act of that George  the word of this preamble be whereas many of his majesty love subject that  have be in quiet and peaceable possession for many year of land tenement and  other hereditament as heir at law by descent from their ancestor or as  purchaser for valuable consideration or otherwise have be and may hereafter be  put to great trouble and expense in defend themselves and their estate from  vexatious suit to he have against they by colour of old dormant debt and  encumbrance pretend to have be contract and due by person under who they  derive a title to their estate and whereas it be high reasonable for quiet of  possession that there shall be a time limit for the redemption of mortgage it  be therefore enact etcetera it appear that the respondent claim be not such a  dormant encumbrance as be intend to be bar nor be the possession of the  mortgagee such a quiet or peaceable possession as be intend to be thereby  favour or if it have be so yet the respondent and his father be both entitle  to the benefit of the save clause these clause be that nothing herein contain  shall be construe to bar the title or claim of any person who shall commence  and prosecute his action or suit within five year next after his title shall  accrue Nor to bar the right or remedy of any person who shall be a feme covert  or within the age of year etcetera provide he or she shall bring his action or  suit within five year after the disability be remove the father die before the  time limit by the act for bring his bill to redeem and even before the act  pass and the son brown bill be exhibit within two year after the determination  of his minority although the act allow he a respite of five year for that  purpose but then it be object that the several ejectment bring by the father  and uncle of the respondent be not to be consider as seek or calculate to  preserve a redemption but as defeat and destructive of that right by a title  paramount and that the several offer of a account and redemption by the  different bill be of no avail from the refusal in the different answer to  enter into the account which amount to a disclaimer of the equity of  redemption offer by those bills But sure the pursue a title paramount can  never be call a relinquish of the equity of redemption the execution of the  mortgage be never controvert the respondent ancestor never go far than to  insist that part of the mortgage land be under settlement and by their  ejectment they seek to recover such part only insist at the same time upon  both right as well under the settlement as that of a equity of redemption  under the mortgage that it appear from the whole tenor of the answer of the  respondent ancestor that they be Willing to go to a account but afraid of the  expense with such powerful adversary beside the mortgagee themselves never go  far than bill and answer when they shall and may have proceed to a actual  foreclosure and have sell the land and especial after a verdict against the  respondent title under the settlement obtain during his minority but the last  bill of revivor exhibit against the respondent in after his father death at  once answer this objection by acknowledge that the right to redeem be then in  the respondent and it be not pretend that since he attain he ever bring any  ejectment or do any one act to disturb the appellant or to revive his right of  redemption before he exhibit his present bill which disclaim the defence make  by the answer during his minority and pray a account and redemption on the  foot of the mortgage and concur with what the appellant seek by their bill of  revivor a three objection however be make to the decree from the difficulty of  account after so great a length of time and that the account can now be settle  with so much certainty as that no injury shall arise to the mortgagee or those  derive under he and particular with regard to the cost and expense which the  appeal brown er p lants and those under who they claim be at in defend their  title to the mortgage premise from the suit in dower the several ejectment and  bill and two or three suit with the heir at law of Francis and that the  redemption carry the still great hardship from the depreciation of money and  the proportionable advance in the value of lands The difficulty of account if  real be the fault of the mortgagee it be incumbent on they to keep regular  account and the several ejectment be so many warn for that purpose beside this  difficulty be waive and dispense with by the several bill for account and  brown foreclosure for at the respective time of fill those bill they must have  be ready with their account or they will not have file they and it be their  own laches only that not one of their many bill be prosecute to a foreclosure  but stop at the injunction it seem therefore to have be their sole object  rather to retard and avoid the claim of the mortgagor than bring it to a  determination nor can the ejectment have long delay the account have not the  bill of the mortgagee prevent those ejectment from be bring to trial that it  be not pretend that the mortgagee ever expend pound in improvement on any part  of the mortgage estate or ever consider themselves as owner of it or that any  thing be ever do by the respondent or his ancestor to create any difficulty in  the account except in bring the several ejectment and thereby occasion the  several bill of foreclosure which from time to time dispense with that  difficulty but the accruer of pound per cent interest upon the mortgage money  be a ample compensation for any suppose temporary disadvantage in the  alteration of time and circumstance or for the present difference in the value  of money from what it be when original advance that the difficulty of account  be a strong argument against redemption in all case where the mortgagee have  be encourage to consider the estate as his own by the laches and neglect of  the mortgagor but in the present case the possession have be continual dispute  from the beginning and the mortgagee have himself postpone the redemption from  time to time by fill bill not in reality to foreclose but to prevent the trial  of the claim under the settlement so that this long possession be not to be  impute to the neglect of the mortgagor but to the artifice of the mortgagee as  to another objection that the appellant palmer the young be a purchaser  without notice for a valuable consideration under his father marriage  settlement it be say that the father have not the least right at the time of  the settlement for he have be in possession but five year and hold as tenant  at will only by the sufferance of his brother in violation of the will of the  very person under who that brother pretend to derive title beside the  settlement be make pendent light in the year after hear counsel on this appeal  it be order and adjudge that with a variation as to some particular  description of the mortgage premise the decree shall be affirm jour vol p
