thought that the parties themselves would beat know how

ZOLDS/A. _ _

The plaintiff in this OM bad recovered • Judgment for
106 f. es. against the Royal British Bank, sad failing to
satiety the whole of that mama out of the property the
hank, lts, by leave of Judge, kneed execattea t the
of Mr. Borchett, • shareholder in the k. for
U. 9d., the balance, and for costs. Subsequently •
=nSllie was come to ia reference to the affairs of the
ader the sanction of Vice-Chancellor Kindsraley,
hi natation of which Mr. Borchelt paid 1,7161. 111 s.
Thet gentleman contended that this payment exo-
nerated him from all claims in reference to the
slides of the bank, and he obtained a rule oallizsmnrint
the plaintiff to show cause why the entry to thel
book, chargieg the setae of Mr. Borchelt with the udgemst
debt, should not be struck oat, cr why an retry oteM not
be made stating that hie estate yes discharged from liability
in consequesce of the compromises. To-day muse was shown
against thk rule being mete absolute, and it was submitted
to the court that the compromise affected only transactions
between the shareholders themselves or between them and
the hank, and did not affect the skims of third parties; and
Gather, that the judgment having been registered against
Mr. Burchett's estate prior to the compromise, it had beams
• debt due from him, and had ceased to be a debt due from
the beak.
Mr. Simon appeared to show canes against the rule, anti
Mr. Hansen to support It.
The court thought that the original debt having been get
rid of by the compromise, the plaintiff could not mooted
against the iadividuel shareholder in respect of it. The
question, however, whether the pislutiff could recover the
costa incurred in reghtering the jedstm-nt sgeinst Mr.
Barehttt was one that they would take time to consider.
