In respect to the validity of mortgages for existing debts and future advances, there can be no doubt. This Court has made three decisions directly and inferentially in support of them.

The nature of the mortgage and the circumstances under which it was given are set forth in the opinion of the Court, and need not be repeated. chanrobles.com-red
