When made upon the ground of insufficiency of security, a notice required by the mortgagee's clause need not be given. Putnam v. McAllister, 57 N. Y. Supp. 404. In a case where notice was required, held that the receiver in supplementary proceedings of the mortgagor was not an adverse party within sections 713, 714. Grover r.

That the mortgaged premises, upon a sale thereof at public auction, cannot bring sufficient to satisfy the mortgage debt due plaintiff, with interest, costs, and arrears of taxes, which amount in the aggregate to the sum of dollars; that the value of said premises is about the sum of dollars, as more fully

appears by the affidavits of M. N. and O. P. annexed.11

VI. That said premises, at the commencement of this action, were, and ever since have been, in the possession12 of the defendant [W.

11 Where there is no receivership clause in the mortgage, or pledge of the rents, the affidavit must show that the premises are inadequate security, and that the mortgagor is insolvent. Welche v. Schoenberg, 45 Misc. 126, 91 N. Y. Supp. 880; Ross v. Vernam, 6 App. Div. 247, 39 N. Y. Supp. 1031.

An affidavit by plaintiff's attorney that he is informed by plaintiff that the security is insufficient, does not justify the court in appointing a receiver. Sickles v. Canaday, 8 App. Div. 308, 40 N. Y. Supp. 948.

12 An objection that part of the mortgaged premises for which a receiver is sought to be appointed, in foreclosure, is not in possession of the parties to the action, is no reason for refusing to appoint the receiver, where the party objecting does not disclose the names or title of those alleged to be in possession.

13 Where the rents are specifically pledged, insolvency of the mortgagor and insecurity need not be shown. Sage v. Mendelson, 42 Misc. 137, 85 N. Y. Supp. 1008; Butler v. Frazer, 57 N. Y. Supp. 900.

14 When a second mortgage contains such a clause, and it appears that the parties in possession refuse to pay interest and taxes, and are receiving the rents, and there is a doubt as to the adequacy of the security, a receiver will be appointed. Thomas v. Davis, 90 App. Div. 1, 85 N. Y. Supp. 661. It is not necessary (though, of course, it would be advisable) to show

the insolvency of the maker of the bond, under such a situation. Browning v. Sire, 56 App. Div. 399, 67 N. Y. Supp. 698, 9 Anno. Cas. 127.

The receiver's clause is not controlling, but may be taken into consideration in determining whether a receiver should be appointed. See Fletcher v. Krupp, 35 App. Div. 586; Eidlitz v. Lancaster, 40 id. 446; N. Y. Building Loan Co. v. Begly, 75 id. 308; Brick v. Hornbeck, 19 Misc. 218, 43 N. Y. Supp. 301; U. S. Life Ins. Co. v. Ettinger, 32 Misc. 378, 66 N. Y. Supp. 1.
