. Mr. LAWS moved for a Role to slim cause
,why,
upon payment of costs, all further proceeding's in
this Cause should not be staid, upon the following
circumstances: the Defendant, as stated by his
Affidadavit, had purchased of the Plaintiff,
,at an
Anaion, goods to:the value of '221. and paid a de:.
posit in the. usual manner, agreeing to take the
goods and' pay for, them on a:given day ; which
however he did not do.: The' Plaintiff filed a Bill -
against the Defendant, for the ptirposeVf com Pilling
a specific performance of his engagement. The De-
fendant, with a view, as he thought, of avoiding
much litigation, engaged to give in his answer on
the Bth of the present month, and fin' that purpose
executed a Warrant of Attorney to,confess judg-
ment for the sum 'of 'Sol, if he did pot -do id. He
failed to pia in 'his
,answer on the Bth, 'and there-
fore the Plaintiff entered up Judgment; and took the
Defendant in execution for "that 'sn'a.' The answer
wa3 put in on the 12th, so that here was a Warrant
of Attorney to confess Judgment for the sum Of 01.
upon failure of putting in answer to a Bill in Chari.
'eery, filed for the purpose of eriforeing,'a specific
performance of a contra& for the purchase of goods
of the value of 221. and the objet even of this
Warrant of Attorney was 'answered;
The Court said, that'althciUgh this was :in extra-
ordinary'Ca,;e'; tintloubredly, yet the Defendant could
-not complain of surprize, for-however improvident
his COndull-'Was, Jail' he did isiasAvith his eyes open,

Equity, .perhaps his applieltiati-iiiighe to be there :

Mr. ANDERSON moved for a jtule to shew cause
why the..motley which )lad been paid into Court in
this Cause by th'e Sheriff's Officer, who arrested the
Defendant in thiorcause, should not be delivered out
to the Assignees of the Defendant, .opon an Affida.- .
vit stating, that the Defendant had.: ken arrested
by a Sheriff's Officer, at the suit of another for the
sum ofsol. That he had deposited the sum sworn
to, and also tol. to cover the costs, to procure his
liberation under the late ,Alt of Parliament, on
which he was enlarged. He. afterwards put :in ,
bail, and then a Motion was made that the money
he had thus deposited should be paid into Court,
for the purpose of its being afterwards given
up to him, which the Court ordered accordingly,
and the money was paid into .court., . Since this)
the affidavit stated, that the Defendant had. become
bankrupt, had been examined before the. Commi-
ssioners, who,were so much dissatisfied with the an.
swers he had gived to their questions, that they
had cotnmitted hitn.to Newgate. • ,Therefore the
motion now was, that this money which the bank-
rupt might otherwise draw out pf Court, might be
delivered up.to his assignees..
.Rule to shew cause granted, :and the
.Court di,
reEted it to be served both on .the. Bankrupt and on
the, Plaintiff, in the action upon which, the 134nk-
rupt was•arrested. . : ,
