864 FEDERAL REPORTEa. �as this release and the mortgage to Wight were recorded at the same moment, it is evident that Wight did, as he testiuea he did, rely upon this release in making the loan. �4. The next question is as to the validity of the deed executed by Samuel W. Worthington, trustee, to Thomas L. Worthington, (Exhibit Q,) purporting to convey the one-fifth interest in the lands which had descended to Martha E. Worthington under the terms of the will by the death of her brother George. Proceedings were instituted in equity in the circuit court for Baltimore county, and a decree was obtained ratifying the sale of the said one-fifth interest to Thomas L. Worthington for $2,000.
