The ruling made in the headnote covers the only point presented by this record. The cases cited -will be seen, upon a comparison of the description of the mortgage set forth in the statement of facts therein with the description of the property covered by the mortgage in the case at bar, to be directly in point and to rule the question made here. In the brief, counsel for plaintiff in error argue that while as between the mortgagor and mortgagee the mortgage might not be void for want of a sufficient description of the property mortgaged, nevertheless the description was insufficient to give constructive notice to the plaintiff in error or others as to the existence of the lien attempted to be created thereafter; and cites authorities to support this proposition, among them the case of Stewart v.

But the plaintiff in error can not take advantage of the ruling made in that case, that, “as between the mortgagor and mortgagee, parol evidence might be admitted to show the property to be the same as that mortgaged, but it is not admissible as against a bona fide purchaser.” In order to have obtained advantage of the ruling quoted and of similar rulings in other cases, a different question should have, been submitted to the court, or an additional question, — that is, one raising the objection to the de
Judgment affirmed.
