Hillar. 13 Jacob. Robinson against Matthew Francis Administrator of Alban Francis.* 1.1
IN an Action of Debt on a Bond of 100 l. made the first of August, 10 Jacob.
The Defendant pleaded, that the Intestate 20 November,* 1.2 the 11 Jac. was bound to Elizabeth Francis in 100 l. which was unpayd at the death of the Intestate, and that Elizabeth marryed John Pennial, John and Elizabeth brought a plea of Debt against the Defendant be∣fore the Major of London for the said 100 l. and recovered by default, and had Execution of 55 l. 8 s. 5 d. and so acknowledged satisfaction, &c. and did further plead, that the Intestate the 12 Janua. 7 Jacob. did ac∣knowledg in Chancery, that he owed to the Lord Chancellor and to the Master of the Rolls 500 l. which Recovery and Recogni••••nce did amount to 600 l. 8 s. 6 d.
And that the Defendant for the said Execution, and for payment of divers Debts of the Intestate before this Action, plene administravit omnia bona Intestatoris praeterquam bona ad valentiam 100 l. which were lyable for the residue of the said Recovery, and for 100 l. parcel of the said 500 l. and that he hath not, nor had, at the day of the Writ, purchased any other goods, &c. saving to the value of the said 55 l. 8 s. 5 d. and the said 100 l. and did aver, that the Debt recovered before the Major, &c. was a true and a just Debt, and that the said Reco∣very as to 45 l. and 1 d. residue of the said 100 l. 8 s. 6 d. and the said Recovery did remain in force.
The Plaintiff as to the Recovery said, That the said Obligation,* 1.3 upon which the said Recovery was had, was made for security of the payment of 55 l. and that the said John Pennial and Elizabeth did ac∣cept the said 55 l. 8 s. 5 d. in full satisfaction of the said Iudgment, and were content therewith, and offered therefore to make a Release, or to acknowledg satisfaction: but the Defendant, to defraud the Plain∣tiff of his just Debt, did defer to have satisfaction acknowledged, or to have a Release of the residue of the Iudgment, and suffered the Iudgment to remain in force by fraud and covin to the intent afore∣said, &c.
The Defendant, as to the residue of the Debt,* 1.4 and the acceptance of the said 55 l 8 s. 5 d. in satisfaction of the Iudgment, and to the offer of Release and acknowledgment of satisfaction, did demur in Law. And as to the Recognizance he said, that a Condition was an∣nexed to it, scil. That if the Intestate, his Executors, or Assigns, should pay 100 l. with the increase thereof, to William Francis an Infant, when he shall come to the age of 21 years, and in the mean time shall imploy it to the benefit of the Infant, according to the Will of Willi∣am Francis, that then the Recognizance shall be voyd: and did aver, that William Francis was alive, and within age, and that the said 100 l. was not yet payd.
And the Plaintiff to this did joyn in Demurrer.
And to the other Plea did demur in Law, and the Defendant did joyn.
And I conceive, that as to the first Demur, the Plaintiff ought to
