ceit cannot be maintained by the
feller of his fhare in a trade, against
the buyer, who has perfuaded him
to fell it at a certain price, by
a reprefentation that certain part-
ners, whofe names he will not dif-
clofe, are to be joint purchafers,
and that they will give no more,
although in truth they had autho-
rized the Defendant to purchafe it,
doing the best he could, and al-
though the Defendant charged
them with a higher price than he
gave. Vernon v. Keyes. Page 488

And though the declaration ftated
also that it was fold as and for pi-
mento of good quality and condi
tion, whereas the famples fhewed
that it was dufty and of inferior qua-
lity, yet the jury having found for
the Plaintiffs, the Court refufed to
set aside the verdict. Jones v. Bow-
den.

truth of the reprefentation, and a
contract of fale be afterwards re-
duced into writing, in which that
representation is not embodied, no
action for a deceit lies against the
vendor on the ground that the ar-
ticle fold is not anfwerable to that
reprefentation.

maged, to exprefs it in the broker's
catalogue, and drugs which are re-
packed, or the packages of which
are difcoloured by fea-water, bearing
an inferior price, although not da-
maged, the Defendants, who had
purchased some fea-damaged pimento,
repacked it, and advertised it in ca-
talogues which did not notice that
it was fea-damaged or re-packed,
but referred it to be viewed, with
little facility, however, of viewing
it: they exhibited impartial famples
of the quality, and fold it by auc-

lent to a fale of the goods, as and

AFFIDAVIT TO HOLD TO
BAIL.

1. An affidavit to hold to bail muft
fhew on what account the debt be-
came due, and the deponent's addi-
tion and place of abode. Polleri v.
De Souza.
It is no objection to an affidavit to
hold to bail, which ftates that the De-
fendant is indebted, and denies a ten-
der in bank-notes, that the Plaintiff re-
fides in a foreign country, and that it
does not appear how the deponent
could know these facts. Andrioni v.
Morgan.

about to fell the goods in fatisfaction
of his debt, the Defendant under-
took to pay him 122l. 195. if he

of frauds. Barrell v. Truffel. ib.

demption, made at a time fubfe-

The grantor
of an annuity was re-
quired, for further security, to make
her will and depofit it with the
grantee, and to make an affidavit
that she would not revoke it: a ma-
giftrate refused to let her fwear the
affidavit, but the grantee retained
the will. 10, which had been re-
tained till the grantee fhould make
the affidavit, were then paid to the
grantee. The memorial did not notice
the will. Held that the memorial was
therefore bad, but that the 10l. was
not money retained within f. 4. of
the flat. 17 G. 3. c. 26. Ex parte
Mackenzie.

5. Semble that nothing more is necef
fary to make good the memorial of

the requifites which are prefcribed
in terms by the ftatute 17 G. 3. c. 26.
f1. Horwood v. Underhill. Page 346
6. The grantor of an annuity who is

discharged out of cuftody under the
infolvent at 51 G. 3. c. 125. is dif-
charged both as to his perfon and
property from all future payments of
the annuity; but the act is no dif-
charge of his fureties, or of fpecific
fecurities. Cowley v. Buffell. 460
7. It is fufficient in the memorial of
an annuity to state that the fecurities
were executed" in the prefence of
T. C. of, &c." without expreffing
that he fubfcribed his name as an
attcfting witnefs. Wallis v. Lade.

761

8. The infolvent act 51 G. 3. c. 125.

is a bar to an execution against the
perfon of the grantor of an annuity,
in covenant for inftalments accruing
after the Defendant's discharge un-
der that act. Mence v. Graves. 854

bouring an apprentice as fuch, if the
mafter to whom he was bound was
then not an housekeeper, and of the

323
for harbouring his apprentice, it is
neceffary for him to prove that he
has made oath that the premium
mentioned in the indentures is the
whole premium he has received,
quare.

4. If the grantor of an annuity fecures
it by a bond, whereby he binds him-
felf, his heirs, &c., it is not necef-
fary that the memorial of the bond
fhould defcribe it as binding his
heirs.

diers, but it is their duty, to exert
