AGENT PLEDGING SECURITY.

The plaintiff was entrusted by the de-
PENDANT with one of its bonds TO use IA
collateral security in raising money for
its own use, on the note of third
person. He did, in fact pledge the
bond with one of his own notes, but ac-
counted to the company for the pro-
ceeds, and was then and for n time
thereafter its creditor for large sum.
He subsequently became defaulter,
owing the company far more than the
amount of the bond. In suit upon Il
by the Pledge, it was held he had sub
stantially complied with his duty, and
that the defendant, having received the
money at the time without objection rs
to the manner in which il was raised,
must be considered to have ratified his
action. --Flemming VS.. Camden & At

DECLARATION OF TRUST AND DEED.
II conveyance is made to trustee
upon trust thereafter to be declared, or
designated, by the granior, the trustee
| is bound by such declaration and desig-
nation rs completely as If the deed and
declaration of trust were Simultaneous
and part and one of the same transRc-
ton. When n deed from father to an
infant child is executed and acknowl-
edged, but never delivered TO the gran
tee or put upon record, and there are
no other acts of the grantor manifesting
nm intention to make an operative grant,
it will not be considered as operative
and conveying any title. A declaration
of trust to use the property "for the
purpose OF providing an agricultural
home for poor boys in connection with
an industrial school, is sufficiently def
mite to create valid trust and donation.
A test to determine whether a trust Is
sufficiently definite, is to inquire whether
upon the neglect of the trustee TO per-
form, there Is sufficient certainty 10
enable court of equity to take posses
sion of the fund and execute the trust.
The fact that the deeds and declaration
Of trust were not placed upon record
until after the grantor's death, does
not, in view of the fact that they, with
the personal property, were delivered
to the trustee properly Endorsed by the
donor, defeat the title Of the trustee
