“ In the latter case the road, its bed, its rolling stock, and much other property probably was not conveyed, and no expression is found implying that all its lands were conveyed; and if we limit the words 'all other property' to what we have supposed to be their meaning, there is nothing else to imply that the company intended to mortgage all its property of every kind and description, whether real or personal. ”

“ It is not to be denied that in a writing descriptive of property to be transferred or assigned the more general words, which include all that is intended to be conveyed, are not to be frittered away by an attempt at a description of each particular thing fairly included in the more general language. ”

“ There are other grounds of defense set up, on one of which the decree against plaintiffs was rendered, namely, that the suit was barred by the statute of limitations. But if the defendants are right in the assertion that the land was not conveyed by the mortgage deed, all other questions are immaterial. ”
