The claimed the trustees of the es-
tate is thateertsin securities belonging
to the school were sold by Percy L.
Johnson as trustee. wrongfully and
without authority. It is claimed fur-
ther that the members of the firm to
which those securities were acid were
cognizant at the time of the fact that
Johnson acted without authority in dis-
posing of them. and that as a matter
of fact. the securities having been up»
lawfully transferred and the proceeds
never having been turned over to the
school. the stocks do not belong to
Burr & Knapp. but the title still vests
in the Staples Free Academy. The
suit is to recover the stock or their
value. and also the income and profits
which they have netted since they
were turned over to the banking firm.
in one of the paragraphs the com-
plaint states: ‘.
"Some time after July. 1896. said
Percy L. Johnson unlawfully and
wrongfully came into possession oi
moneys and securities belonging to the
said corporation. The said Johnson
wrongfully. unlawfully and without
authority conveyed to the defendants
twenty-eightishares of the Bridgeport
National Bank. 'of Bridgeport; five
shares of the Mechanics‘ and Farmers'
Bank. of Hartford; fifteen shares of
the Gonnociicnt National Bank. of
Bridgeport. and also shares of the Fair-
neld County. National Bank. of Nor~
walk. and converted the profits to his
own use. the reasonable aggregate or.
the abovoishares being $6.060.
in another paragraph or the com-
plaint it is alleged that the defendants
knew that the shares were trust funds
and that Percy Johnson was without
authority to dispose of them. and. such
being the case. damages of $8,000 are
asked. By way of equitable relief the
court is also asked murder the return
of the stocks. or such of them as have
outlined sold. and to‘order returned
this value of such as have been dispos-
