*314Abstract of the Decision.

1. Account, § 26 * —when hill for accounting insufficient. A demurrer to a bill for an accounting filed by a member of a mutual life insurance association against a trust company, alleging that the defendant received a fund which the plaintiff’s certificate provided should be set aside for the benefit of himself and others similarly situated, and that such association had become bankrupt, and its assets, including the fund in question, by orders of a bankruptcy court had been paid in part settlement of death claims and that no further assets remained, held properly sustained, as was also a demurrer to an amended bill, omitting the allegation as to the bankruptcy, but not alleging that said fund had not been paid over by the defendant to certain other parties in accordance with its agreement with the association, as set forth in the bill, and alleging that certain bonds were not issued to the complainant, as provided by his certificate, since the duty to issue such bonds was that of the association and not of the defendant.

2. Pleading, § 38*—when inferences not drawn in favor of pleader. Nothing will be inferred in favor of a pleader which has not been alleged in his pleadings.

William L. Barnum, Jr., and Michael Eckstein, for appellant; George B. Holmes, of counsel.

W. W. Gurley, George B. Gillespie and Howard M. Carter, for appellee.
