THIS INDENTURE, made, &c., between A. B., of, &c., 1. Parties. and C. D., of, &c. [mortgagees], of the first part, E. F., of,

under the

Trustee Acts.

(a) The Trustee Act, 1850 (13 & 14 Vict. c. 60), and the Act to Conveyances extend the provisions of the Trustee Act, 1850 (15 & 16 Vict. c. 55), empower the Court of Chancery, where any decree or order has been made by a court of equity directing a sale of lands for any purpose, to make an order vesting such lands for such estate as the court shall think fit, either in any purchaser, or in such other person as the court shall direct; and every such order will have the same effect as if every person seised or possessed of such lands or entitled to a contingent right therein, being a party to the suit or proceedings and bound thereby, or being otherwise bound by such decree or order, had been free from all disability, and had duly executed all proper conveyances and assignments of such lands for such

estate.

And the Trustee Act, 1850, s. 16, empowers the Court of Chancery to make an order releasing or vesting in any person the contingent rights of unborn persons who might become interested in lands ordered to be sold; and by s. 20, wherever an order may be made, having the effect of a conveyance or assignment of any lands, or having the effect of a release or disposition of a contingent right of an unborn person, the court may appoint a person to convey the lands or release the right; and the conveyance or release of the person so appointed has, when in conformity with the terms of the order, the same effect in conveying the lands or releasing the right as an order of the court would have. By the general orders of the 12th Nov., 1856, applications of the above nature are directed to be made to the judge in chambers.

Under the Act 2 & 3 Vict. c. 60, mortgages of real estate may be made by order of the Court of Chancery for payment of the debts
