Col. Broadhead testifies guardedly, but on that -point he is clear and positive. He understood both suits to be included in the settlement, and testifies that he supposed his client so understood it also. He testifies that Judge Krum insisted upon including both suits ; that he yielded to the demand; and Broad-head, on the part of the plaintiff, was the negotiator, as appears not only from his testimony but from that of his client. There is no doubt about the scope of the settlement as it was understood by the plaintiff’s counsel, who had the matter in charge. He undei’stood, and had the best of reasons for his opinion, for he was in a position to know the facts, .that both suits weffe included. He testifies also that hfe “ impression ” at the time of the transaction was that “ Grumley knew all about it.” Whence came that impression ? From what quarter was it derived, if not from his own client?
