JUDGE DUER's OPINION.

JUDGE DUER's OPINION.
James B,osrn, Charles Ne,cmann, and Ed. Ken.
ball, Jr., assignees Of antonio PeHetier, os Deer
mann &. Gruner-This Ia = motion for an injunc-
ton to restrain the sale Of certain ships formerly
owned by one Antonio Peletier, who, to secure the
amount OF his Indebtedness to the defendants in
interest therein to the defendants, and after the
payments of their claim, any surplus WAS to be re-
TUNED to Peletier or paid over to his other cred
tors. This action was commenced by the plaintiffs,
who are creditors and subsequent assignees Of Pei
letter, to set aside that sale on the ground Of du
ress, fraud, usury, and failure to comply with TIE
terms Of certain agreement made between Pelle.
tier and Overmann druner on the further alleged
letter had been fraudulently and corrupty stated to
be some $40 900 more than was actually due to Over
mann Gruner. In the first place, this 10 not bill
against the defendants as trustees, and even 1t
were, they are not trustee under the2evised Stat
ates; they are in effect mortgages having legal
title, and as such have right to dispose Of the
property at any time, for the satisfaction Of their
deb, they zee 1t. Tina agreement between the par
ties il perfectly plain, and In terms too strong to
admit Of any two constructions; and the defendants
hold the property as mortgages, and the courts
will not interfere to put them out Of possession
without charge Of fraud properly maintained and
real and personal property; therefore the defend.
ants are ~ mortgages. to remain in possession Of
the property for the purpose Of paying and settling
up their debts. Whether bill could be filed or not
70 restrain these ass1gnees or mortgages ID NOT
question for me to consider now; such Is not the
case before me. Tne complainant denies that the
plant fs are trustees or mortgages at al, and
seeks TO set aside the agreement under which
partly mentioned. The charge Of duress
Is conclusively shown to be groundless; that Of
fraud and usury ID fully met by the answers and
anBdavits in support oft. Besides, the agreement,
ito face IL clearly not usurious; the five per cent
commissions agreed to be paid the defendants by
Peeter was for their extra services as ships hus-
band, and a. consignees Of the vessels. Ard O. to
the 900 advanced, tire answer shows that this was
settled between the psrties by subsequent agree
ment. The additional afidavits On the part Of the
plaintiffs in this case are not responsive 70 any new
matter, but merely in support Of the allegations in
the complaint; they cannot therefore be taken into
cor sideratiop. add, that In no event would they
have varied my opinion. Ny opinion, therefore IS
that the temporary injunction should be dissolved,
and the motion for injunction denied with costs
