I have, to this point, considered the merits of the case apart from the merits of the contested settlement. That may deserve a brief consideration. When this cause was previously here, the record was quite barren of facts showing the state of the rent account between the plaintiff and defendants in the first suit. It was shown that a judgment had been rendered for $11,522.54, as for rent unaccounted for. The fair presumption was that the judgment, although excessive, was nevertheless somewhere in the viciuity of what was right. The evidence before us now dispels that illusion. The account is now presented and appears in the record in detail. Instead of showing an unpaid balance .of ■$>11,522.54, it shows a balance of only $4,089.19, thus evincing an error in the judgment of $7,433.85. The account, or the results of it, as the evidence shows, were exhibited to Grumley before the settlement, so that’ he acted with a knotvledge of the facts.
