1. ““ * * * There was no express contract or agreement by the pledgees that they would accept the bonds as collateral and account therefor at 75 per cent, of their'-par value, or not dispose of same at a less sum. But the court held that such an agreement was implied from the fact that the pledgees knew that, to validate the issue, they must be taken, if at all,' at not less than 75 per cent, of their par value. The court therefore held that this was the understanding of the parties, and that the issue of the bonds * * * was legal and valid.””
