Condition to Marry a Woman, or, in Default thereof, to Pay a Sum of Money.

Obs. 1. A condition to marry no other woman than the obligee, she not being bound to marry the obligor, has been held to operate in restraint of marriage, and therefore void. Low v. Peers, 4 Burr. 2225.

2. A bond to procure a marriage, called a marriage brocagebond, is now held to be bad, being contrary to the policy of the law. Hall v. Keane, Show. P. C. 76. Courts of equity will not only decree such bonds to be delivered up, but also any sum paid to be refunded. Debenham v. Or, 1 Ves. 275.

Mortgage Bond.

Obs. 1. It was formerly understood, that a mortgagee taking a pledge to himself, took it in satisfaction of the debt, and could not, therefore, recover by an action on the bond, in case the estate on sale and foreclosure should prove inadequate; but it is now held, that an action may be brought on the bond for the difference; but this will, however, open the foreclosure, and afford an opportunity to redeem. Tooke v. Hartley, 2 B. C. C. 125; Schoole v. Sall, 1 Scho. and Lef. 176.

2. Where a bond is given for securing the payment of a sum, Stamp. which is also secured by a mortgage or writing charged with the same duty as a mortgage, it requires a stamp of only 17.; but where it is the only or principal security, it requires the same duty as a mortgage. See Mortgages.
