Carney v. Powers

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Order modified, so as to direct the referee to make inquiry as to the circumstances under which this agreement was made and as to its legality and fairness, and report the same to the court with his conclusions, and by striking therefrom the provision vacating and declaring void the agreement between Powers and James Carney, and the direction that any moneys found' due on the assumption this agreement is void be paid by Powers to Carney, and reserving determination of the defendant’s liability until the coming in of the report. The accounting as directed by the order appealed from shall be taken if the referee is of the opinion that the agreement should be vacated. As so modified, the order is affirmed, without costs to either party.
