CAPE SABLE COMPANY'S CASE.—3 BLAND. 605

peaching their motives, and mode of managing the affairs, and in
particular, the pecuniary concerns of the company. And the
auditor has, in his character of counsel for the complainants, fre-
quently insisted upon those charges. It is due to the defendants
and himself to declare, that an investigation of the accounts has
satisfied him, that all the moneys received for the use of the com-
pany have been promptly and properly applied, by its agents, to
the uses of the company; and that those agents have been fre-
quently in advance to a large * amount; and from time to
time incurred heavy responsibilities in order to carry on 625

the works.

Annexed to this report there was an agreement, signed by the
solicitors of the parties, in which it is said, that it is agreed, that
the injunctions heretofore issued in the cases of the same plaintiffs

dismissed. The question of costs alone is submitted to the Chan-

have been prosecuted together. They were heard together; and
the first case referred to the auditor with directions to state an ac-
count, and the decision of the others reserved. That the agree-
ment, under which the decree of the 8th instant was passed, was
hastily and inadvertently entered into by one of the solicitors of
the plaintiff's; that, in consequence of that decree, executions may
shortly be issued against the property of the Cape Sable Company,
in which these plaintiffs are concerned, and their interests sacri
ficed. Whereupon they prayed, that those cases might be rein-
stated, &c.

BLAND, C., 14th March, 1828.—On consideration of the forego-
ing petition, and the representation of the solicitors; it is ordered,
that the said decree of the eighth instant be, and the same is
