McSHERRY, J. On August 20, 1890, Lindenstruth borrowed $5,500 in cash from the George Bauernschmidt Brewing Company, of Baltimore, and at the same time, and to secure the repayment of the loan, executed and delivered to the lender a mortgage conveying both real and personal property, and likewise all of the mortgagor's "stock in trade, such as whiskies, brandies, wines, liquors of any sort and description." Among other things, the mortgage contained the following provision: "And it is hereby expressly understood that all stock and goods hereby granted shall be held liable for the said sum of five thousand five hundred dollars, and the interest thereon, until paid, and that all stock of goods replaced after the sale of any or all of the stock, goods, merchandise, and other property hereby granted shall be substituted for those hereby granted;

In November, 1892, the First National Bank of Baltimore obtained a judgment against Lindenstruth upon a cause of action which existed prior to the execution of the mortgage.

Later on, an amended bill was filed, charging, in addition to the averments of the original bill, that the mortgage had in fact hindered, delayed, and prevented the plaintiff from collecting its judgment, and, further, that the property was more than sufficient to pay the mortgage debt and the plaintiff's claim. It also charged that some of the goods and stock conveyed by the mortgage had been sold, and replaced by other goods and stock, and that these latter had been so mixed and intermingled with those covered by the mortgage that they could not be identified, or distinguished from the goods...
