court  in  mistake  of  law  is  not  the  subject  ot  an  action  ;  out
the  court  wiU  order  it  to  be  repaid  or  distributed  according  to
law  as  soon  as  the  mistake  is  discovered.  A  trustee  in  bank-
ruptcy was  ordered  to  repay  money  which  he  had  claimed
from  an  execution  creditor,  who  had  paid  it  in  ignorance  of
his  right  to  retain  it(»).  And  where  money  paid  into  a
bankruptcy  under  a  mistake  in  law  had  been  distributed
amongst  the  creditors,  the  court  ordered  it  to  be  repaid  out
of  any  other  funds  applicable  to  dividends  (x).  But  no
claim  can  be  made  for  the  recovery  back  of  money  upon  the
ground  that  it  was  paid  under  the  authority  of  a  decision  of  a
competent  court  upon  a  point  of  law,  which  has  since  been
declared  erroneous  by  a  Court  of  Appeal  («/).
