This leas an action on a bond, in a penalty of
sor,bool. to pay mood. the proceediag on which we
Rated when we announced the verdia for the Plaintiff.
Mr. GaltROW applied for a new trial, not only on
the ground that there was no evidence to fupport the
verdia, but that the tellimony was wholly. from be-
ginning to end, in favour of the Defendant.—The
only queftion in the caufe was, whether the Plaintiff
knew of a certain debt due to Minton, competent to
vacate all the fecurities given to Cans as the con.
fideration for this bond; as if he were acquainted
with this debt, the bond was fta,udulently procured,
and the scion could not be fupported. Mr. GA minw
likewife intimated, that there was additional written
evidehce in favour of the Defendant, which would be
extremely important when it came before another
Jury.
