the defendants hereinafter in this paragraph
mentioned and the attorneys for such defend
ants, propositions for the settlement and ad-
juStment of all the liabilities sought to be en-

last named liabilities over and above the sum
Of $500 to be paid to said receiver for said

That in the Judgment of your petitioners it
is advantageous to the creditors of the said de-
PENDANT bank that the settlement of the liabili-
ties Of said several defendants upon the terms
above named be made and concluded, and that
the interest of said creditors will be best sub
served thereby.
That as petitioners are informed and believe
negotiations have been had by the attorneys
for said creditors for the settlement of the liza
bilities OF said William H. Morgan. and the
estate of Rebecca Morgan, in said action and
for the settlement of the liabilities sought to be
enforced against Charles T. Hutson as admin |

ment has yet been arrived at, and that as your

comparatively small amount, towit: not to
exceed $1,000 can be realized out OF said several
liabilities in this paragraph mentioned.
Wherefore your petitioners pray that notice !
of the hearing of this petition be given to all |
of the parties to said action, and to all of the
creditors of said defendant bank and to the re-
ceiver thereof, and that upon the hearing of
this petition, the settlement so agreed upon as
aforesaid be ratified and approved and that
authority be given by said court for the con-
summation thereof, and that authority be Civ
en- by said court to make such adjustment and
settlement of the liabilities OF the remaining de-
PENDANTS IN said action as the court may ap-
prove
