An appeal has been granted the
Van Dyke Syndicate in Its suit against

agreement made before the railroad
was reorganised. The syndicate avers
in its petition that the reorganisers
entered into an agreement to float
bonds worth 000,000 to reorganise
the company and to place the bonds
with the syndicate. Subsequent to
the agreement, however, the reorgan
izers made other arrangements, and
did not issue the bonds. The syndicate
tried In the lower court at Norfolk
to have the agreement lived up to,
