WILLIAMS VS. THE SAVAGE MANUFACTURING CO. 445
the lands. But the judgment of the Court being against the
complainant on this point, and it being determined that'the
purchase was not made for the Company, and that the com-
plainant is chargeable with the money of the Company, applied
by him towards paying for the lands, and the question being
with what amount he should be so charged, justice seems to
require that he shall be credited with any sums which the
Company may have received from the same lands. The right

the result of a very careful consideration,: aided, as I have
been, by full and able arguments, I am quite sensible of the
probability that I may, upon many of them, have fallen into

the extent and character of the decree will be determined, due
regard being had to the orders already passed in the cause.
[An order was passed accordingly, dated the 30th of Octo-
ber, 1852, and the Auditor having stated accounts in accor-
dance therewith, exceptions were again filed thereto, at the
hearing of which the Chancellor delivered the following opinion,
on the 27th of January, 1853.]
THE CHANCELLOR: ,
This cause, standing ready for hearing upon exceptions to
the report of the Auditor of the 12th of November last, and
