Supreme court — general principle. — The supreme court is uniformly inclined, so far as practicable consistent with established rules of practice, to so frame it judgments as ultimately to do justice according to right and merits.</p> <p>3. Case at bar. — Contracts including lien for supplies and rent held good under agricultural lien act, to the extent only of the supplies, and as an ordinary mortgage for the rent, the mortgage, however, to be subject to priorities.</p>
