“ Know of attempts to compromise after decree of $11,522. Webb authorized me to make a settlement of the whole matter in regard to the leasehold premises. I attempted to do that; consulted Mr. Broadhead. Mr. Broadhead was attorney for Grum-*609The settlement covered both suits. Webb was to pay the costs in both cases, and the pending suit of $7,000 was to be dismissed, and I was instructed to draw the papers accordingly. I stated: ‘Now, I understand this to be a full settlement of the whole controversy,’ and Webb and Grumley I understood to assent to it. I then wrote those two papers — that is, the receipt for $8,500, and this direction to the clerk of the court to enter satisfaction of the $11,000 judgment on the record ; and also this memorandum dismissing this $7,000 suit, and read them in the presence of both parties. Webb had a check for the amount of $6,500. Went with Grumley to Broadhead, at Broadhead’s office. Webb paid costs in both cases. Do not know whether I saw Grumley sign the receipt or not.
