Syllabus

<p>Constitutional law — Title of act — Mortgage—Deed—Liability of grantee — Act of June IB, 1878, P. L. BOB.</p> <p>1. The Act of June 12, 1878, P. L. 205, entitled “An Act to define the liability of grantees of real estate for the incumbrances thereon,” is sufficiently comprehensive in its title to cover both the first and second sections of the act, and does not violate art. Ill, sec. 3 of the constitution of Pennsylvania.</p> <p>2. Where an owner of land creates two mortgages thereon and then conveys the property subject to the mortgages, the grantee covenanting in the deed itself to assume and pay the mortgages as a part of the consideration, and thereafter the grantee conveys the land to another person without expressly assuming any continuing liability to pay the mortgages, such grantee is not liable to the mortgag^ for payment of the mortgages. £V</p>
