SUPREME COURT GENERAL TERM
All the justices set in 6Gae yesterday, and were
engaged as follows:
White vs.. Freedman's Bank. The argument in
this case reported yesterday was concluded and
submitted.
Louis II. Schneider vs.. Sarah A. Turton OF al.
This case is set out as follows:
John B. Turton died May 0, 1878, intestate,
seized and possessed of certain real estate in this
District, and largely in debt. Letters Of admins
1873. the complainant filed his bill in equity as q
creditor OF the intestate, praying that the real
property be sold for the payment OF his (Schnei
der's) claims, and such other claims as might be
properly brought into the cause and proven. The
facts affecting the question presented In this ap.
peal are briefly these: On the sth Of February,
1871, Turton, being indebted 10 three firms IN
PhIladelphia, made and passed to the said firms
nine promissory notes, payable respectively in
two, four, and five months, and which were In
dorsed by the complainant, and which Turton
secured by deed Of trust.to Samuel L. Phillips,
esq, upon certain OF his real estate These notes,
as they matured in April, June, and July, 1871,
were paid and taken up by Turton. but the deed
The complainant AYERS in his bill that on the
Of OF s2iS and On tie iii Of January, ls eleven
other notes, amounting TO 5,377.l7, and payable
respectively IN sixty days, ninety days, and four
months. and that at the time Of the Endorsement
Of these twelve notes Turton delivered TO him ds
security for such Endorsements the nine trus,
notes above mentioned which had been paid and
taken up in 1871, Schneider claims that the deed
OF trust given by Turton to Phillips to secure the
payment OF these nine notes is again IN force and
is preferred lien upon the property It descrlbes
| to secure him (Schneider) TO the extent Of the
| said notes, Notwithstanding they have once beer
paid and taken up BY the maker lTurton.)
This claim is resisted by the other creditors, o,
the estate will evidently be largely deficient, and
| the matter having been referred second time Il
| the auditor to ascertain and report whether the
| said notes are secured liens upon the said reR
estate, that officer, in very able review Of tho
facts and the law OF the case, reports that thest
| notes are not liens upon the said real estate.
The complainant excepted to the report, ant
the exceptions were overruled In special term
| upon which the case comes up on appeal.
The case was argued BY W. ]. Miller for appel
| liant and Jas. g. Payne for appellee.
Strong vs.. Grant. Bill dismissed.
