Syllabus

<p>1. Where the sheriff’s vendee of real estate against which there was a subsisting mortgage, assumed the mortgage debt after the sale by giving his own mortgage for its amount, whereupon the original mortgage was satisfied, the transaction on its face is confirmatory of other evidence sustaining the contention of claimants upon the fund, that the property was sold subject to the original mortgage.</p> <p>2. Upon the petition of the committee of an habitual drunkard, exhibiting an itemized account of his costs and praying that the court approve and order the payment of the same, a decree was made and entered upon the judgment docket that the estate of the drunkard pay said costs: such order was in the nature of a final decree in equity for the payment of money, and had all the effect of a lien from its entry in the judgment docket.</p>
