THE ANSWER.
The defendants in their answer allege, in sub
stance, the making OF the note and trust deed, as
set forth in the bill: that one Thomas II. Talbot
purchased tie note about the time Of its
date PAYING the to The deed said II ,I HSdf n ECO
as security for tho advance, and Eaton
accepted the trust, that he deposited
the note and trust decd with the Freedman's
Trust and Savings Company, who collected the
interest for him as it fell due and was paid. That
the treedman's bank loaned to said Talbot 81 800,
for which he gave his note in 1872, and the same
the said bank 1t should hold the Holden 5000
note and the deed of trust as security. That Ea-
ton, trustee, departed this life on the 18Th OF
February, 1878, leaving two infant heirs under
fourteen years Of age. That the bank, having
the possession Of the Holden note for value and
the deed Of trust which secured IT, Instituted the
proceedings in equity suit No. 320l, and had
Geo. W. Stickney appointed trustee in May, 1873.
That said Holden made default in the payment
of the interest on his note in April, 1874, and in
the principal in 1874, and the said Stickney then
proceeded to advertise the property in accordance
party TO the equity suit No. S20l for the reason
that said Holden, on the 30th OF September, A. d.
ISL by his decd recorded in lber &c. folio 19l Of
the deeds Of Washington county, conveyed all
his remaining equity and interest in the premises
to one John Chester, then and now tenent of the
freehold and in possession; that as to this trust
the EalQ hOluen ndu Hlaue HIMSELF q Stranger,
and has no more right to call 1t In question than
any other stranger. That because real estate
was depressed in price 1t did not relieve a prom
isor from paying his Just debts, or deprive cred
itOr from collecting his Just dues and making his
security available. That the decreee in equity
suit No. 32Ol was fairly obtained: that no fraud
was practiced and none intended, and the court
who made it fully understood the facts and law
OF the case, and the same is valid and lawful
decree, and fully Justifes the said Stickney
in the execution of the trust therein specified.
That the said Talbot fully approved OF and was
privy to the proceedings in said suit. The plain
tiff filed general replication to defendants an
sWer. No oral testimony was offered. The cause
was heard on the bill, answer and replication; the
