We shall be aided in determining the question whether that second suit whs or was not included in the settlement, by a recurrence to the subject-matter of the two suits, to the negotiations which culminated in the settlement, and to the dealings and relations of the parties to said litigation. The following facts are not in dispute: In October, 1855, the plaintiff was the owner of the leasehold in question. He was then in embarrassed circumstances, and had allowed ground-rent and taxes to accumulate against the property. The property was also subject to a deed of trust and to the encumbrance of a judgment lien. His affairs were in this embarrassed condition when he applied to Bigham & Webb, areal estate firm, composed of the defendant and said Bigham, to take charge of said leasehold and collect and apply the accruing rents.
