Narayanaswami Pillai – Respondent


JUDGMENT

Horwill, J.

He mortgaged usufructuarily a substantial item of property in favour of the plaintiff; and the consideration for it was partly to discharge e debt of the late Gbvinda Pillai and partly to discharge the private debt of the third defendant. The first defendant claimed to be a creditor of the late Govinda Pillai; and he obtained a decree against the daughter of Govinda Pillai, that is, the second defendant, and against the third defendant. In execution of that money decree, he attached certain property said to belong to the late Govinda Pillai, including the property which had been usufructuarily mortgaged to the plaintiff. He alleged that this mortgage was nominal and false. The plaintiff resisted the attachment of this property; but was unsuccessful.
