And they did distribute all the estate except the property
on which the defendant had taken a lease; and of the revenue accruing from this
they duly paid one-half to the plaintiff. Up to that time, then, how is it

he should show his indignation; he should at once have done so then. Moreover,
he cannot say that he has not received the rents which became due subsequently.
