The mortgagee of a chattel is the owner thereof and entitled to the possession thereof even before the law day of the mortgage, in the absence of an express stipulation or a stipulation arising by implication from the terms and conditions of the mortgage, reserving in the mortgagee the right to possession until default in the payment of the debt.

Even though under the mortgage the mortgager is entitled to retain possession of the chattel, yet the right of possession in the mortgagor is a right personal to him, and, as against a third person, especially where the third person has obtained possession in violation of a statute, the mortgagee is reinvested with the right of possession.
