Security Bank & Trust Co. v. Todd, 118 Miss. 575 (Miss. 1918)
79 So. 560

Security Bank & Trust Co. v. Todd

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Upon a reconsideration of the matter, we are of the opinion that the court below should have allowed appellant credit for the expenses necessarily incurred by it in collecting the several collateral notes amounting to the sum of three • hundred fifty-four dollars and twenty-two cents, so that to that extent the suggestion of error will be sustained, the judgment heretofore rendered will be set aside, and the decree of the lower court modified accordingly-

Sustained in part.
