Judgment by:
Lord MacNaghten

My Lords, speaking for myself I agree with the conclusion at which the Lord Chancellor has arrived. That the law with regard to fixtures as between mortgagor and mortgagee is perfectly satisfactory I should be sorry to affirm; but I am sure much mischief would be created if there were a departure at this stage from the law which has been looked upon as governing such transactions as this ever since the case of Mather v. Frazer.
