we're entitled by said lease, S402 co. being the val
ue Of the last named barrels, with which said
sum it was the duty of said defendants to have
procured 2O1 barrels Of the value aforesaid and
10 have accounted for the same as barrels en-
brRced in SAID original lease That neither said
80 barrels, nor said 40 barrels, nor the barrels
which should have been so brought and account
ed for, we're embraced in the barrels so released
by said Eliza j., to said Lucas as aforesaid, and
they should have been returned at the termina-
ton Of said lease or within months thereafter
PENDANTS have fsiled 70 return them or any pOr-
ton Of them; wherefore judgment is asked as
