By the Court.

This case is governed by Farnsworth v. Boston, ante, 1. In every taking of land for the public use, the mortgagor is regarded, in this Commonwealth, as having, at law, the entire estate in the premises, and entitled to recover the whole value thereof, estimated according to the provisions of the statute, without any deduction on account of the mortgages and liens thereon.

Judgment affirmed.
