so much interest from the said Rector and Visitors as others,
such bondholders shall, first, and before any distribution is
made, be paid so much as will place them on an equal footing
with the other bondholders; after which all shall share alike,
without discrimination as between principal and interest. And

accrued upon each and all of the said bonds, a surplus of
the proceeds of such sale or sales shall remain in the hands
of the said Trust Company, it shall pay such surplus to the
said Rector and Visitors, or their assigns, or as any court
of competent jurisdiction shall lawfully direct.

purchaser shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving
such receipt, be liable in any way to see to the application
of such purchase money upon, or for, the trust or

for any loss, or misapplication or non-application of such
purchase money in part or in whole.

money as would be payable upon such bonds and overdue
coupons.
