Opinion

Treat, J.

(orally.) Fund paid into court is subject to the ruling of the court as to the respective rights of parties. It is not necessary to enter into an elaborate consideration, in the light of authorities, of the peculiar obligations resulting from certificates of membership in this corporation. Whether such a certificate was assignable admits of extreme doubt. But even if assignable under the terms of the certificate, said terms were never complied with. The result is that the fund /in court, less costs, must be paid to JohnP. Harman, guardian of the child of deceased. '

Decree will be entered accordingly.
