(2) A person paying or transferring the same to the mortgagee shall not be concerned to inquire whether any money remains due under the mortgage. (3) Money received by a mortgagee under his mortgage or from the proceeds of securities comprised in his mortgage, shall be applied in like manner as in this Act directed respecting money received by him arising from a sale under the power of sale conferred by this Act; but with this variation, that the costs, charges and expenses payable shall include the costs, charges and expenses properly incurred of recovering and receiving the money or securities, and of conversion of securities into money, instead of those incident to sale.
