;.  28,  by  which  it  is  enacted,  that  any  mortgagee  of  land
'within  the  definition  in  the  3  &  4  Will.  4,  c.  27,  s.  1 )  may
make  an  entry  or  bring  an  action  at  law  or  suit  in  equity
to  recover  such  land  at  any  time  within  twenty  years  next
ifter  the  last  payment  of  any  part  of  the  principal  money
or  interest  secured  by  the  mortgage,  although  more  than
twenty  years  may  have  elapsed  since  the  time  at  which  the
right  first  accrued.  The  same  principle  of  construction  is
ipplicable  to  this  act  and  to  the  40th  section  of  the  3  &  4
Will.  4,  c.  27.     Chinnery  v.  Evans,  11  H.  L.  C.  115.
The  payment  of  interest  by  the  receiver  of  the  Court  of
Chancery  of  one  estate  only,  comprised  with  others  in  one
mortgage,  keeps  alive  the  mortgagee's  right  as  to  all  the  ,

3states.  lb. ;  comp.  Balding  v.  Lane,  1  D.,  J.  &  S.  122;
oost,  p.  542,  on  section  42.
The  time  to  bring  ejectment  by  a  mortgagee  begins  to  run  when  time  begins
from  the  execution  of  the  mortgage  deed,  unless  there  is  a  *°  ™'"
provision  that  the  mortgagor  shall  remain  in  possession  until
;he  day  of  default  in  payment.  Doe  v.  Lightfoot,  8  M.  &
W.  533.  The  act  enables  a  mortgagee  to  recover  in  certain
:ases  when  the  mortgagor  would  be  barred,  if  when  the
nortgage  was  made  he  was  not  barred.  Doe  v.  Eyre,
17  Q.  B.  366  ;  Doe  v.  Massey,  ib.  373.  Thus  payment  of
interest  by  a  mortgagor  may  keep  alive  the  right  of  a  mort-
gagee against  a  tenant  in  possession,  though  by  reason  of  his
aon-payment  of  rent  to  the  mortgagor  his  right  is  barred.
