tion ofthesetransactions,waswell secured by the mortgage of an
estate sul cientfor the purpose,and.by an assignment ofx eharge.
fornearly f2000,payableout of thefundsin thecauseofBeytaglz
v.Concannon. Tlle settlement authorised a loan,upon approved
security;and so matters stood until the money was paid oF by
M r.M qNevin,and restored to the hands ofthe trustees,towhom
itwasproperly payable. I musttreat the lodgmentto theirtredit
asa paymentto them ;and'the money remained quite :afe,'
akd at
their disposal,untilM r.M d
N evin negociated with them for a new
loan,Jowhich the trusteesagreed. Allthrough,thisis spoken of
asa new loan,and notasa,rescission of the original payment,even
ifsuchathinjcouldbe. Inthemeantlme,however,Mr.M1Ne 'vin
lladdealtwith hispropertp hadsubjectedthewhnle,oraeonsider-

deration,and.had.made the residueofit a fund for indemnifying
the settled portion againstallchargesthen aFecting it. The pro-
perty in factbecame so m uch entangled that,from being an ample
security, it rested totally on the covenant of Daniel Charlea
M sN evin. It is impossible to consider this a fltting security for
the inyestment of trust funds. In point of fact,itwas utterly
valueless,and.themoney wasJostby thistransaction. .
In thatstateoffacts,itseemstom ethat the trustegsarerèspon-

and the adviserof his co-trustee,they cannotbeheld less responsi-
b1e than they would have been had they obtained the advice of
Counsel,in the ordinary way, which never would have absolved
them if they ha4 fallen into such amanifest error. M r.Graham
' '
contendsthat M r.Digby French is bound to recoup him ;andm r-
haps he m ight be,save for this,that M r.French cast on him the
