138 GIBSON'S CASE.—1 BLAND.
given bond, had forborne, at request of the defendant, to make
the sale, he was allowed half commissions. * Carroll v.
149 Jones, MS. 14th September, 1821. And where the sale, made
fee; that, since Baker's death, Scheisler has neither received the consideration
money, nor conveyed; but that he declares his willingness to convey, on re-
ceiving the money, although he will not file his claim in the Chancery Court.
On this statement, it appears unreasonable, that Scheisler will not exhibit
his claim to the Chancellor; and that such exhibition would be convenient
to all parties, by saving the trouble and expense of a Chancery suit, in
which Scheisler might probably be compelled to convey on receiving his
money. The Chancellor cannot direct money to be paid to Scheisler, unless
he exhibits his claim, or is called to answer a bill or petition for conveyance.
Upon the whole, the Chancellor thinks proper to declare, that, provided the
above statement of facts be full and correct in every particular, it will be
advisable for Scheisler to exhibit his claim to avoid inconvenience to himself
and the parties interested in the trustee's sale.
Sometime after which the case was again brought before the Court.
