With the exception that the amounts are different, and the mortgage is upon different property, this case is exactly like No. 12197, between the same parties, decided this day, in all that relates to the cause of action set out in the first count of the complaint, and in all that relates to the course of procedure in the cause, and the judgment and decree therein rendered. Without repeating the history of the case in detail, on the authority of the decision in said No. 12197, we hold that the objection to the judgment and decree is not well taken, so far as the same relates to the cause of action set out in the first count of the complaint.
*103The mortgage was exactly the same as the other on the subject of future advances and indebtedness. Long after the date of the mortgage and of the note therein set out (the subject-matter of the first count), the mortgagor made and executed to the mortgagee, plaintiff herein, his promissory note for the sum of $1,303, payable on the 1st of September, 1884, with interest at the rate of one per cent per month, which note contained these clauses: “In case of suit to collect this note, or any part thereof, I agree to pay attorney’s fees and costs of court, which shall be included in the judgment. This note is secured by crop mortgage.”
In due course plaintiff presented his claim against the estate of the mortgagor, upou this note, asserting that it was secured by crop mortgage, as shown upon its face, but making no pretense that it or any part of it was secured by the mortgage now in suit, or otherwise than by such crop mortgage. It was regularly allowed as presented.
How in this foreclosure he sets it up as a separate cause of action, in a second count to his complaint, and prays that it be decreed that as to five hundred dollars of the amount, with the interest thereon, it is secured by this mortgage, and that it be included in the judgment of foreclosure, with judgment docketed against the estate for the deficiency, if there be any.
As before, there is no direct averment in the complaint that this note was secured by this mortgage, to any extent, and the note itself, and the claim as presented to the executors, negative the proposition that it was so secured, by showing affirmatively that it was otherwise secured. If the note had been silent on the subject of security, under the well-established rule in regard to mortgages given to secure future indebtedness, we should have been constrained to hold that it was secured by the mortgage in suit to the extent of the limitation therein prescribed. But as to this note the plaintiff has accepted *104it, expressing upon its face that it is otherwise secured as to its entirety, and with no expression indicating that it is secured by this mortgage, either in whole or in part. He has failed anywhere to advise the executors that it is so secured. We must hold that if he could resort to this security at all upon that note, it could only be for the deficiency, after exhausting the other security. And it is by no means certain that he could do that,—that as to such deficiency, if there should be one, he would not be remitted to his established claim against the estate, to be paid in due course of administration. It is unnecessary to decide that question here, for in this case he has made no attempt to show that he has exhausted the direct security given for the payment of that note.
It follows that the judgment and decree in this case must be. reversed, so far as it is based upon the cause of action set out in the second count of the complaint, and the case be remanded for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
So ordered.
