1t is alleged in the complaint that on the
23d of December, 1881, u contract was made
between the two corporations by which the
defendants were to act as agents for the
plaintiffs and to make loans for them, TAX
ing their compensation out of the interest
which might accrue on the money loaned.
The defendants were bound, by virtue of
the agreement, to exercise all due vigilance
in doing business so as 10 select only first
class securities. In 1856 the contract, it is
alleged, was broken because the agents had
made many loans upon property which
was previously encountered, and which
was not of such value as to warrant such
large loans.
