A factor upon a bankrupt estate, having a considerable sum of bygone rents in his hands, bearing interest, the two preferable creditors upon the estate, who had long disputed which of them was to be ranked first in order, apprehensive of the rents perishing, agreed to divide the same in a certain proportion: In consequence of this agreement, application was made to the Court of Session in the name of one, with consent of the other; and he accordingly uplifted the bygone rents out of the factor's hands; and being many years thereafter pursued by the other creditor upon the agreement, was obliged to repeat the pursuer's proportion of the rents, with interest from the time of uplifting.
