Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court November 29, 1937 (Norman v. Barnes)

Rugg, C.J.

These two actions of contract were brought by the trustee in bankruptcy of Riley, Fitzgerald and Company, a partnership (hereafter called the bankrupts), to recover alleged balances due the bankrupts as a result of trading by each defendant upon margin accounts in stock transactions. The actions were referred to an auditor, who filed a comprehensive report in each case.
