The complainant Cook became the , owner of certain premises under a mortgage foreclosure • "sale, and after redemption expired instituted these proceedings before a circuit court commissioner to recover possession thereof. The case was appealed, a trial had in the circuit, and the complainant was successful. The questions raised come up on a case made.
The first objection made goes to the sufficiency of the description of the premises claimed. The description follows the one given in the mortgages under which complainant acquired his title.

We cannot concur in this view. We must give force and effect to each word. Where a note is made payable several years after the date thereof, with annual interest, this calls for the
The judgment must be affirmed with costs.
