Syllabus

<p>Mortgage — Building and loan association — ■Fraud—Evidence.</p> <p>A mortgage given to a building and loan association in which' the amount stated is larger than the amount actually loaned, is not wholly void, where it appears that although the financial secretary of the asso-. ciation either drew the mortgage or knew its contents, it is not shown that he made any representations respecting the same to the mortgagor, or that he did or said anything to induce the latter to refrain from reading the paper, or asking to have it read. In such a case the association may recover the amount actually loaned.</p>
