Syllabus

<p>Trusts and trustees — Equity—Accounting—Remedy—Laches.</p> <p>Where a person acts as trustee for others of a fund raised by the sale of property, and the accounts of the trust are involved and complicated, a bill in equity is the proper remedy against the trustee for an accounting. In such a case a delay of eight years will not relieve the trustee of an accounting where it appears that the trustee was an attorney at law, and that several years were spent by other attorneys in endeavoring to secure settlement without suit. The statute of limitations has no application in such a case.</p>
