Judgment — Motion to Enter Satisfaction— Evidence.

Opinion:
The defendant, since the decision [Case No. 9,3S9], having paid to • one of the persons who had sued him, and against whom the plaintiff, by the report of the referees, was to indemnify him so much of the sum awarded, as with the sum before paid to Holt, and a small sum now paid into court, amounts to eighteen hundred and fifty dollars; moved the court to enter satisfaction of the decree, which the court directed.
