Bragg v. Osborn green

1928We have here a case of an individual trustee who mixed the funds of a single cestui que trust with his own account — not such a case as Bragg v. Osborn, 147 Tenn., 381 , 248 S. W., 19 , in which the trustee deposited in a common account funds belonging to various persons and it would be impossible to trace title to any particular part of the- deposits, and the claim of one beneficiary could therefore rise no higher than the claim of others whose money was deposited in the same general fund.
