agreed by and between the said parties to these presents, that until
the interest of the said sum of £

or of so much thereof as for the time being shall remain due upon the
said in part recited securities, shall be in arrear and unpaid for the
space of
days next after the same shall have become due by
virtue of the said in part recited indenture, all and singular the rents,
issues and profits of the said messuages, lands, tenements and heredi-
taments, shall and may be had and retained by the said (mortgagor),

nefit, without any intervention or interference of the said (receiver) or
any future receiver to be appointed as aforesaid, any thing hereinbe-
fore contained or implied to the contrary thereof in anywise notwith-
standing. AND the said (receiver) doth hereby for himself, his
heirs, executors and administrators, covenant, promise and agree, to
and with the said (mortgagor) and (mortgagee) and each of them,
their, and each of their exccutors, administrators and assigns, in the
manner following (that is to say), that he the said (receiver) from time
to time, so long as he shall be the receiver of the rents and profits of
the said messuages, lands, tenements and hereditaments, or any of
them under or by virtue of these presents, shall and will use his ut-
most endeavours to collect in and receive the rents, issues and profits
of the said hereditaments and premises, and well and truly pay, apply,

(1) This proviso is proper in the case of a mortgage, as corresponding with the clause in the mortgage deed, authorizing the mortgagor to receive the rents and profits till default; but in the case of an annuity it may frequently be expedient that it should be omitted, particularly where the rents and profits are barely sufficient to keep down the annuity, or where the land on which it is secured is under settlement, or limited on trust, for other purposes.

(1) As the act of an agent is in most cases deemed the act of the Entry of receiver principal, see Doe and Willis v. Martin, 4 Durnf. and E. 39, this clause not entry of is generally inserted to prevent the entry of the receiver to perform the mortgagee. trusts of his appointment, being construed to be the entry of the mortgagee for breach of the condition on the part of the mortgagor; but as the preceding trusts would preclude this presumption, it is not necessary.

And if the receiver be appointed for securing the payment of an an- Annuity. nuity, it is irrelevant, and should be omitted.

IN WITNESS, &c.

Receiver not

liable beyond his wilful default.

(1) The declaration that the receiver shall be answerable only for his wilful negligence or default, is inserted rather as a matter of satis faction to the receiver than of necessity; for although no provision be made for his indemnity, he will not be liable for accidental losses. See Knight v. Ld. Plymouth, 3 Atk. 480; 1 Dick. 120; Rough v. Howell, 3 Ves. 566; but otherwise if he be guilty of gross negligence, ib, or risk the money on his own account, Wren v.

THIS INDENTURE (1) of

parts, made the

day of in the year of the reign, &c. and in the Year of our Lord BETWEEN (the old trustees) of, &c. (2) of the first part, (the husband and wife, or other celles qui trust) of, &c. of the second part, and (the new trustees) of, &c. of the third part (3). WHEREAS

(1) An appointment of new trustees is frequently by deed poll, but it seems more proper that it should be by indenture, which, being the words of all parties, will amount to an agreement on the part of the new trustees, to stand possessed of the property upon the trusts de clared, and there is a still greater degree of propriety in this where it is a partial change only of trustees, and a covenant is inserted (as there should be) that the resigning trustee has not encumbered; a covenant will, however, be binding on the covenantor, although by deed poll, if the covenantee be named in the deed; 1 Roll. Ab. 517. F. N. B. 145. Green v. Horne, 1 Salk. 197.

If the surviving trustee be an infant, application must be made to the Court of Chancery; and see Alison v. Pomfret, 2 Cox, 221.

(2) If the deed of appointment be by indorsement, say, "the within named," instead of describing the parties.

(3) When the settled estate is freehold, and one or more trustees are appointed to act in conjunction with a continuing trustee, the mode usually adopted is to convey the estate to the new trustee, to the use of such new trustee and the former trustee, in order that they may take a joint estate in the property for the purposes of the settlement. See 1 Horsm. Prec. 210, 211. 213; and 1 Saund. Us. [132] also 3 Elem. Conv. 2d Ed. p. 416, and where the limitations in the settlements are to the
