Account, \u00a7 49 \u2014 when decree for accounting is inequitable. Decree on a bill for an accounting under a contract which allows complainant and denies defendants credit for amounts expended before the execution of the contract, held inequitable.\n2. Contracts, \u00a7 53* \u2014 when shown that signatures of additional persons to contract were necessary. On a bill for an accounting under a contract, evidence held not to support a finding that the contract was to become effective from its date but to show the intention of the parties to have been that it should not be binding until additional persons executed it and that it was not executed by such additional persons.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Thomas G. Wittoes, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1917.\nReversed and remanded with directions.\nOpinion filed May 15, 1918.\nRehearing denied May 29, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill for an accounting under a contract and for the removal of the trustee therein named by T. Allen Beall, complainant, against Thomas L. Jones, Alfred H. Trego, A. M. Earel and A. M. Honeywell, defendants. From a decree confirming a master\u2019s report wherein complainant was given and defendants were denied credit for amounts expended prior to the execution of the contract, defendants Earel and Honeywell appeal.\nDyer & Dyer, Dow & Cummings and J. B. Wall-bridge, for appellants.\nCharles Hudson, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number.\nsee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols.
