Opinion

Cranch, C. J.

The complainants are now seeking, in equity, to establish a legal priority. “ Equity is equality.” The equity of the other creditors is equal to that of the bank, and the bank has lost its legal priority. I think the bill must- be dismissed, but without costs, as the deeds have been lost since the bill was filed.

Thruston, J. concurred. Morseul, J., doubted*

Bill dismissed.
