LAW INT I,LIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, TursDAY,Atr 3.

(In Bunco.)
KEATS V. HICKS.
This was an action to recover arrears due to the plaintiff', on an
anynity granted to her by bond, in which the detendant had Mincd
its a surety. On the trial the Jury fotind a s
he pecial verdict, first for
the plaintiff. and then for the defendant on t facts. The case had
been subsequently argued in the Court of Common Pleas, upon the
question whether the annuity was granted, in consideration of
natural love and affection, or (or a pecuniary consideration. The
Court gave judgment for the plaintiff, and the case came on to-day
for atguinent on a writ of error.
Mr. Caamintr, for the defendant, contended, that although
the annubv was stated to be granted in consideration of natural
love and affection, yet it was in fact granted on account of money
advanced by the plaintiff to her two sons, who had disposed of her
stock is trade for the purpose of raising money to advance to.them.
This being the fact, he submitted that the bond required to be re.
gistered, agreeably to the Statute of the 17th Geo. I [I. c. 26, which
not having been done, the bond was consequently void, and the
defendant was therefore entitled to a verdict.
The CoI7RT stopped Mr.Tintlal from replying, and said, that it
did not appear that the advancement of the money sod the granting
of the annuity were one entire transaction, and that, therefore, the
annuity not being granted for a pecuniary consideration, it did not
rotjuire to be registered.
There being other pleas filed by the defendant on which the Jury
had not given any verdict, the Court granted a Venire dc Novo as
to those pleas, which will send the parties down to a new trial.
The Court was occupied during the remainder of the day in cases
of no public interest.
