1Opinion of the CourtStaples, J.
The appellant qualified as the curator of Peter Craig in January, 1862. Among the assets which came to his hands was a debt due by Jonathan Fultz to the testator, secured by a deed of trust upon real estate, bearing date 20th of March, 1856. This debt, amounting on the 24th of July, 1863, to about $2,317, was on that day paid by the appellee, •Jonathan Fultz, to the appellant in Confederate money. A controversy having arisen between the parties with respect to the terms and conditions upon which the money was received, the trustee refused to execute a release of the trust deed.
