of soae other construction that might cause hla trouble . Hie theory is, that the CaD­celled note ahould be produced wh .. a chat­tel aortgage is rel eased, beoause of the fa~t that an innocent purchaser f or yalue of the note aight lose bla security whea the Recorder enters the release on the streng~ of an aff1da•1 t 11UCb as t he one I aa in­closing herewit•.
