HENRY FLAVELL, Plaintiff ; MARTHA BALL, Defendant. [1677.]
Feme Covert took a Bond in the Name of her Servant, but in Trust for herself ; her
Husband died, and the Obligor paid the Money to his Administrator.-Bill ordered
to be amended, and to make proper Parties.
The Plaintiff Flavell being possessed of the House and Lands in the Bill, by Virtue
of a Lease for his own Life, made to him by James Earl of Sussex, treated with the
Countess to put in his Wife's Life; for which he was to give £100, which Money the
Earl gave the Countess, and she accepted a Bond for Payment thereof; but being a
Feme Covert, she could not take it in her own Name; but the Plaintiff gave Bond to
the Defendant Ball, for the Payment of the Money in Trust for the Countess.
Sometime after the Earl died, and the Countess relinquished the Administration
to Francis Lord Brudenell and his Lady, who was the only Sister and Heir of the said
Earl, who thereby became intitled to the Money, and demanded the same, and the
Plaintiff paid it to the Lord Brudenell.
And now the Defendant and the Countess of Sussex both claim an Interest in the
Money; and the Defendant denies that the Bond was made to her in Trust, but it
was for her own Use, and refuseth to redeliver it up.
It appearing by this Case, that the Plaintiff's Equity lay against the Lord Brudenell
and his Lady, to whom the Money was paid, and that they were not made Parties to
the Bill ; whereupon the Court ordered, that the Plaintiff should amend his Bill, and
to make them Parties, and in the mean Time the Injunction should be continued.
[331] FRANCIS COREY, Plaintiff; ThOMAS COREY, Defendant. [1677.]
The Plaintiff relieved against an Extent upon an old dormant Statute.
B. C. the Father of the Plaintiff, about fifty-eight Years past entered into a Statute
of £800 to T. C. the Father of the Defendant, to indemnify him against £400 for which
he stood bound with the said B. C. the Cognisor, who afterwards paid the said Debt;
and the Cognisee was never damnified, nor his Heirs, Executors, &c., by reason thereof
but yet the Defendant bath lately extended the Plaintiff's Lands, &c., against which
he brought this Bill to be relieved.
The Defendant answers, that he believ'd the Statute was given for Money lent,
and as to the Length of Time in not putting it in Execution, he said, that he found
a Writing containing an Agreement, that the Statute should not be executed in the
Life-time of the Cognisor ; and that the Plaintiff sometime since being bound for the
Defendant in borrowing Money, he the Defendant (rebus sic stantibus) did not dare
to demand the Money due on the Statute till he cleared his own Debts.
But the Court ordered the Statute to be vacated, and Satisfaction acknowledged,
and that the Extent sued out, should be set aside; and all Amerciament against the
Sheriffs, for not returning the Extent discharged; and a perpetual Injunction to
stay all Proceedings thereon.
