FUND, 1-. To capitalize with a view to the prmiuct-ion of interest. Stephen v. Mii- nor, 24 N. J. Eq. 3'76. Also, to put into the form of bonds, stocks, or olber securities. bearing regular interest, and to provide or appropriate a fund or p(=rm:u1ent revenue for the payment thereof. Merrili v.

—l:‘unded debt. To fund a debt is to pledge a specific fund to keep down the interest and reduce the piiiiripnl. The term "Euud" rvis orig-iniiiiy applied to a portion of the national revenue set apart or pledged to the payment of a particular debt. Hence, as applied to the pecuniary obligations of states or municipal corporations, a funded debt is one for the pay- ment of which (interest and principal) some fund is appropriated, either specifically, or by provision made or ture taxation and the q-mun‘ pledging in advance of the public revenue. Ketclium v. Bulifaio, 14 N. Y. 3-‘I6; People v. ("-urpenter. 31 App. Div. 003. 5:? N. Y.

Ster- ling, 41 Or. 518. 69 Pnc. 4/60. This term is very seldom applied to the debts of a private individual; but when so used it must be understood as referring to a. debt embodied in sccurities of a permanent character and to the puymcnt of which cortain property has been ap- lied or pledged. Wells v. \'\'clls (Sniper. N. Y.) E4 N. Y. Supp. ST4.—l‘nnding system.
