Campbell and Parish, two of the defendants; executed two bonds to the master of the court of equity, for . , r ,, , , ,,,,,, the purchase money ot a tract of land, sold by the order oí the court. Phillips, (another defendant,) by permission of the court obtained possession of the bonds, as the guardian to the plaintiffs. Phillips prevailed on the obligors to take up the two bonds, thus given to the master, and execute to him, as guardian to the plaintiffs, two other bonds for the same amount. Phillips then either sold, without endorsement, or mortgaged these bonds, to Dr. Thomas Faddis. Faddis had notice, at the time of his purchase, that Phillips held the bonds in trust, as guardian of the plaintiffs. Phillips has become insolvent or nearly so, and the securities to his guardian bond are also insolvent. The bill is filed to restrain Campbell and Parish from paying to Faddis, and Fad-dis from collecting or tranferringthe bonds, and for the payment of the money to the plaintiffs. All the material allegations in the bill are admitted in the answers. We are of the opinion, that as Faddis purchased the bonds, with notice of the trust in favor of the plaintiffs, his equity is not equal to that of the plaintiff’s, which is prior in time, and prior in right. We are of the opinion, that they, Campbell and Parish, pay to the plaintiffs the purchase money due on the said bonds. And that Phillips and Faddis, and all claiming under them, be restrained from enforcing the collection of said bonds at law, and that plaintiffs recover costs of the defendants Phillips and Faddis. The decree will be for the plaintiffs accordingly.
Per Curiam, Decree accordingly.
