City National Bank of Ft. Worth v. Hunter
In Bank v. Hunter, 129 U.S. 557, 579, 9 Sup. Ct. 346, will be found a full history of the litigation between the parties to the present appeal. The final decree was reversed, with costs, and the case was remanded, with directions to proceed in conformity with the opinion of this court. After the mandate and opinion of this court had been filed in the court below, the cause was again heard, and it was, among other things, adjudged: 'That said complainants, R. D. Hunter, A. G. Evans, and R. P. Buel, do have and recover of and from the defendants, the City National Bank of Ft. Worth, the sum of twelve thousand nine hundred and eighty-four and 85-100 (12,984.85) dollars, together with interest thereon from this date at the rate of eight per cent. per annum. It is further ordered, adjudged, and decreed that all costs accrued in this cause up to September 30, 1881, be, and the same are hereby, adjudged against said complainants, R. D. Hunter, A. G. Evans, and R. P. Buel, and for which let execution issue; and, as the costs of the supreme court have been allowed against said complainants, all other costs incurred herein, which have not been otherwise adjudged, be, and the same are hereby, adjudged against said defendant, the City National Bank of Ft. Worth.'

From this decree the present appeal was prosecuted by the bank. The errors assigned are: (1) The court gave interest on the plaintiffs' portion of the fund to be divided; (2) costs were awarded against the defendant bank.
