<p>Mortgage — Release of leasehold from lien of mortgage — Striking off release.</p> <p>Where an owner of a building mortgages the same and thereafter executes a lease of it for a term of years and subsequently the owner of the mortgage executes a release of the leasehold from the lien of the mortgage, and such release is filed in the prothonotary’s office and in the office for the recording of deeds, the purchaser of the premises at a subsequent sheriff’s sale in foreclosure proceedings under the mortgage, who has had full notice of the release given at the time of the sale, has no standing either technically, or upon the merits, to have the release stricken from the record. The Act of April 20, 1905, P. L. 239, has no application to such a case.</p>
