Frost v. Gage
Frost v. Gage
Opinion of the Court
The facts proved in this case bring it clearly within Arnold v. Lyman, 17 Mass. 400, Hall v. Mansion, Ib.
The case does not come within Dow v. Clark, above cited, because it appears that the defendant, when he accepted the trust, was informed of the names of all the creditors of the assignor, and knew to whom he would be liable by reason of his taking on himself the execution of the trust. Besides ; the facts show that the defendant had paid to all the other creditors their share of the money received by him under the assignment, leaving only the plaintiff unpaid. The parties in interest are therefore reduced to the plaintiff and defendant. In this respect the' case comes within Fitch v. Workam, 9 Met. 517.
There may have been objections to the second count in the declaration which were not taken at the trial. These we have not considered, because the defendant must be confined to those which are stated in the exceptions. Excepticns sustained.
