to a New Cause in Equity.

Edwin B. Hay today filed a bill in
equity against George H. Plant, jr, and
VIM. B. Turpin to set aside the sale of
part Of lot L. square 45D. made September
4, 1894. The complainant states that he is
trustee in q d ED Of trust made March I6
1894. by Harry B. and Florence Johnston
to secure creditors Of theirs on the said
property. There was a previous trust to
George H. Plant. jr.. and Charles NJ Mat
thews to secure to Henry s. Matthews
5000. The complainant notified the repre-
sentative of the holder of the note that ne
would assume payment Of the interest
when due. Nevertheless, he says that the
property was sold on the 4th instant to
VIM. b. Turpin for the inadequate price
of 81, 500, whereas 1T was worth 5000. He
states that he knew nothing of the sale
until the following day, when the said Mat
thews said he would cny cancel the sale
Upon the payment by complainant of costs,
aggregating more than 500. He therefore
asks that the sale be set aside and that he
