to. Dealing with the interest of mortgagees in railroad property, we encounter vested rights. They cannot be displaced llpOn any mere idea of right,. or on 8,ny tefined notions of equity.: '.' Inmannging the-property, the court is nor can it entertain,sentiments ofbenevolehce or.hunuitlityitl disbursing the funds,-..;.luxuriet:dn which the owner alone catlindulge. So much of the petition as prays l;pecial under the brder of 28th February, 1891, is disallowed. The claim comes nnder the principIes laid down in Posdickv. We have passed upon several claims of this character in the inta'Vetltion of the PocahontaBOoaI Oo.et4l..in the main cause, (48;Fed. Rep. 188;) Let the claim of the present petitioner be included with those cIaimsto the aIllount; proved, 8902.80, and share the same fate.

In Equity. Bill of review by Martha A.Milleragainst Emma J .C]llrk and others. For opinion on demurrer to the bill, see 47 Fed. Rep. 850. The hearing is now on a motion to strike out a. suppleIllental bill. Overruled. John M. Buckingham. for plaintiff. W. B. Stoddard, for SHIPMAN" District Judge. This i$.a motion to strlke from the files the supplemental bill in this case, which alleges the payment of costs, upon the ground that the payment and the supplemental bill were delayed for an unreasonable time. Two other grounds were suggested in the motion, were not pressed in the argument. In the decision, which was made alter the argument of demurrer, and which was filed November 3,1891, I said that the omission to state the payment of costs in the bill was not a subject of demurrer; for the payment of costs was one of procedure, rather than jurisdi(ltional, but could be taken by a motion to !ltay procee<Hngs; and also said: "Before a decision upon the other questiOns contained in the demurrer, proceedings under the bill of review should be stayed until the mandate of the supreme court has ,been complied with," etc. No order of sl.ay

waf' asked for, .and therefore no time was fixed for the payment of costs. They were paid' January 15, 1892, aDd the supplemental bill was filed on the next day,--a delay of two months and twelve days. Inasmuch as no order was asked or IPade fixing the time of payment, and as the defendants' counsel accepted the costs, when paid, I cannot say that this delay debars the petitioner in the bill of review from filing her supplemental bill. The decision upon the demurrer was postponed until this payment sh,ould be made Or excused; Inasmuch as, the case was argued some time ago, if the respective counsel have any views in addition to those which were contained in their briefs, I should be glad to receive them in writing.
