A. MEMORIAL.

A. (a) Form of Memorial.

1. An allegation in the memorial, that. the grantee paid the rumboco..

to the grantor, is supported by evidence, I received. Weddell v. Lynam and Jones,

that the amount was deposited by the 1
grantee at his banker's, in the name of
his attorney, to await the performance of
a condition precedent, and that it was
subsequently paid over by the attorney.
Coare v. Giblet, 4 Esp. 231. Ellen-
borough, C. J. 1803.

S. C. not S. P. 3 East, 461.

N. It does not appear whether the payment ought to be considered as made on the day on which the money was deposited with the banker, or on that on which it was paid over to the grantor.

But where no steps are taken by the grantor to set aside the annuity, and no application is made to him to execute further assurances, the grantee cannot recover. Ibid.

11. If, in consequence of the defect of the memorial of an annuity, the grantee sue his own attorney for negligence in preparing the assurances, the attorney, after paying his client the consideration, cannot recover it from the grantor. Burdon gent. v. Webb, 2 Esp. 527. Kenyon, C. J. 1797.

5. Where an annuity is set aside by the act of the court, or the grantor, upon the discovery of a defect in the securities, refuses to execute fresh assurances, the purchase money may be 14. Where an annuity is set aside, recovered in an action for money had and the purchase-money is to be considered

as a debt accruing to the grantee at the moment it is paid; it is therefore barred by the certificate of the grantor, who becomes a bankrupt subsequently to the grant of the annuity, though no steps be taken to set it aside until after the certificate.
