First Friday Building & Loan Ass'n Case

4 A.2d 148 | Pa. | 1939

At the audit of the account of appellant, who, since December 5, 1935, was in charge of First Friday Building and Loan Association, The New York Life Insurance Company presented a claim on a bond and mortgage given by Anna Atkinson in 1925 maturing in three years. The building association held a second mortgage on the same premises "but at no time had any other interest therein." March 6, 1931, claimant and the building association made an agreement^* extending the maturity date of the bond and mortgage to February 5, 1934, etc. After default, foreclosure followed and on October 7, 1935, claimant purchased the property for $75. This, it will be noted, was before the receiver took charge. The claim with interest to December 5, 1935, when the receiver took possession, amounted to $4,570.60. It was agreed that the premises purchased at the sheriff's sale were worth $3,900. The receiver contended that claimant must credit the value. The court allowed the claim in its full amount.

For the reasons stated in disposing of the appeals inEmlen's Estate, 333 Pa. 238, the judgment is affirmed, costs to be paid out of the fund for distribution.
