the knowledge of this defendant previous to those periods
here is no privity between this defendant and said
Compainants - 3rdly - that this defendant was not a trustee for
said Complainants in the sale of said lands: that he was
responsible to no one except the parties to the Judgment &
executions, & that Complainants cannot make him their
agent or trustee - more especially at a period subsequent
to his action in the premises & 4thly because the said

he has been advised to do, and not admitting other matters
prays to be hence discharged with his reasonable costs
