ART. 66] FUTURE ADVANCES. 1519
This section has no application to judgments. Robinson v. Consolidated
Real Estate, etc., Co., 55 Md. 110.
Mortgages to building associations are not within the provisions of the
act of 1825, ch. 50, or if they are, that act as to them is repealed. Robertson
v. American Homestead Assn., 10 Md. 408; Appeal Tax Court v. Rice, 50
Md. 318; Franz v. Teutonia Bldg. Assn., 24 Md. 269.
Future advances.
A mortgage held invalid under this section because future advances were
to be made under it, and the amounts so to be advanced, and the times when
the advances were to be made, were not specifically stated. If this is the
true situation. It makes no difference that the mortgage professes to secure
a present indebtedness, or to indemnify the mortgagee against loss on a
guaranty. Such mortgage will be set aside at the Instance of a subsequent
creditor without notice. High Grade Brick Co. v. Amos, 95 Md. 586.
A mortgage containing covenants to pay, in addition to the mortgage debt,
counsel fees and costs to which the mortgagee might be put, is not invalid
under this section. Maus v. McKellip, 38 Md. 236 (overruling Estate of
Young, 3 Md. Ch. 473).
A mortgage to secure future advances upheld as complying with this
section. The advances may be in materials instead of money. Brooks v.
Lester, 36 Md. 69.
The act of 1825, ch. 50, does not require the length of time for which the
advances are to continue, to be stated. A mortgage to secure future advances
held to have priority over a junior encumbrance, though the advances were
actually made subsequent thereto, and with notice thereof. Wilson v. Rus-
sell, 13 Md. 532.
Design of the act of 1825, ch. 50; mortgage held to comply therewith. Cole
v. Albers, 1 Gill, 423; Maus v. McKellip, 38 Md. 236. And see Wilson v
Russell, 13 Md. 530; Estate of Young, 3 Md. Ch. 473; Gill v. Griffith, 2 Md
Ch. 286.
Generally.
As against creditors and purchasers or assignees of the mortgagor who
may seek to redeem, the English doctrine of tacking or consolidation seems
to be inconsistent with this section. Brown v. Stewart, 56 Md. 431.
A mortgage held not to be within the inhibitions of this section. Edelhoff
v. Homer-Miller Co.. 86 Md. 610.
The first clause of this section, applied. Harris v. Hooper, 50 Md. 549;
Laeber v. Languor, 45 Md. 482.
Cited but not construed in Hammond v. Hammond. 2 Bl. 386.

property for any other or different principal sum or sums of money
