The object of this suit in equity is to require the repayment to the plaintiff of a fund of $12,000 paid by him to the Continental Trust Company under an agreement which he alleges to be void as against public policy. From a decree dismissing the bill of complaint, on demurrer, the plaintiff has appealed.
The agreement was executed in July, 1928.

The reasons and considerations for the agreement were stated in the following recitals:
