NORTH CAROLINA JOINT STOCK LAND BANK et al.\n(Filed 7 April, 1937.)\nMortgages \u00a7 30a \u2014 Painty liable for debt held bound by agreement in consent judgment that he would not again restrain foreclosure.\nWhere a party liable for a debt secured by a deed of trust enters into a consent judgment with the cestui by which he is given a certain length of time to put the loan in good standing and in consideration of indulgences, agrees not to again restrain foreclosure if he should fail to make the payments called for in the agreement, he is bound by his agreement, and judgment denying him any further restraining order after the expiration of the time agreed without performance on his part is without error.\nAppeal by plaintiff from Sinclair, J., at October Term, 1936, of Pitt.\nCivil action to restrain foreclosure and to adjust equities.\nPlaintiff alleges that on 18 January, 1924, he and the defendant Joe Sutton purchased a tract of land in Pitt County, subject to deed of trust in favor of the North Carolina Joint Stock Land Bank, given as security for a loan of $5,000; that Joe Sutton agreed to assume payment of the secured indebtedness as a part of his half of the purchase price; that thereafter the land was divided and plaintiff and defendant Joe Sutton now hold their respective shares in severalty; wherefore plaintiff seeks to have the. share allotted to Joe Sutton first sold, and his own share reserved and sold only in the event of a deficiency.\nThe allegations upon which plaintiff predicates his right to an injunction are denied by the defendant Joe Sutton.\nIt further appears that in 1934, and again in 1935, the plaintiff brought actions identical with the present one, which resulted in consent judgments, neither of which has been carried out by the plaintiff. In the last suit, plaintiff was allowed ninety days to \u201cplace said loan in good standing,\u201d failing in which, it was ordered that foreclosure should proceed, \u201cand the plaintiff agreed that he would bring no proceeding to restrain said sale.\u201d\nFrom judgment denying any further restraining order, but adjudging \u201cthat said sale shall be made without prejudice to the rights of either J. W. Sutton or Joe Sutton, as to any claim they may have against said surplus or excess fund that may be derived from the sale of the said property,\u201d plaintiff appeals, assigning error.\nJ. H. Harrell for plaintiff, appellant.\nJ. B. James for defendants, Bank and substituted trustee, appellees."
