Reporters:
By the Chancellor.

It is too late’ now to ‍​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍open the de~ eree, and therefore it is not necessary for the plaintiff to ‍​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍give the security thereby required.

As to interest: the home defendants might by a legal tender ‍​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍have exempted themselves from it, or they might have brought the money into ‍​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍Court; but, as they have done neither, but hold the use of the money, ‍​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍they must pay the interest upon it.
