But where a receiver (who is, of course, a constructive trustee) made several journeys to Paris, in order that he might be present at the hearing of a suit brought in the French courts in relation to the trust property, and it appeared that his presence was wholly needless, the whole question being one of French law, and not of fact, his travelling expenses were disallowed, on the ground that they were under the circumstances improperly incurred (/). 4. And so where trustees attempted, at the solicitation of their cestuis que trust, some of whom were married women without power of anticipation, to sell the trust property before the date named in the settlement, it was held that they were not entitled to be indemnified against the costs of an action for specific performance brought against them by the purchaser (g). Art. 57.--Protection against the Acts of Co-trustee. A trustee is not answerable for the receipts, acts, or defaults of his co-trustee (), save only: --a. "Where he has handed the trust property to him without seeing to its proper application. /3. Where he allows him to receive the trust property without making due inquiry as to his dealing with it. y. Where he becomes aware of a breach of trust, either committed or meditated, and abstains from taking the needful steps to obtain restitution and redress, or to prevent the meditated wrong.

Excerpt from Concise Manual of the Law Relating to Private Trusts and Trustees Every person who has had practical experience as a lawyer, divides his professional knowledge into two distinct heads, namely: - first, his habitual knowledge - that knowledge of the rides of law which is laid up in his memory, so that whenever he has reason to apply those rules they are accurately recalled without external aid; and secondly, his knowledge of the storehouses, so to speak, where he can get the actual knowledge of any branch of law of which he is uncertain. Now of storehouses of law we have an ample supply. Putting aside the various digests, no works could well be more complete and detailed than Mr. Dart's Book on Vendors and Purchasers, Mr. Jarman's on Wills, Mr. Chitty's on Contracts, Mr. Addison's on Torts, Mr. Justice Lindley's on Partnership, and last, but far from least, Mr. Lewin's Model Treatise on Trusts. Again, we have smaller but singularly complete summaries of case law in Mr. Roscoc's Nisi Prius Evidence, and Mr. Watson's excellent Compendium of Equity, a book which ought to be in the hands of every practical lawyer.
