Description
ERROR to the District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Booraem & Co., merchants of New York, agreed with Hyde & Gleises, merchants of New Orleans, who were indebted to them, to give them an extension of time for the payment of the amount due by them, if they would give their notes, payable at subsequent periods, for a certain sum, the notes to be indorsed, and deposited with H. Locket, and to be delivered to them, on their having paid certain engagements, due in New York; the amount of which was included in the amount of the notes deposited in the hands of H. Locket. The notes were given and deposited in pursuance of this agreement; and Booraem & Co. performed all the matters contained in the agreement, excepting that they did not pay a draft for $2000 and a note for $1568.74, due and payable in New York; being unable to pay the same. The draft and note were returned to New Orleans, and Hyde & Gleises, at great inconvenience and loss, paid the same. Booraem & Co., proceeding according to the practice in Louisiana, filed a petition in the district court, then exercising the powers of a circuit court of the United States, asking that the notes of Hyde & Gleises, in the hands of H. Locket, taking from the same a sufficient amount to repay to them, Hyde & Gleises, the amount of the $2000 draft, and the note for $1568.74, should, by a decree of the court, be ordered to be delivered to them. After a full hearing of the case, on the petition, answer and testimony, the district court gave a decree in favor of the petitioners; and the defendants prosecuted this writ of error. The case is fully stated in the opinion of the court.
