Head Matter:
CARSON v. LEWIS.
Court of Common Pleas. New Castle.
May, 1795.
Bayard’s Notebook, 97.
Johns, for defendant,
objected that the consideration of a bond could not be gone into.
Bayard for plaintiff. Johns [for] defendant.

Opinion:
[Per] Curiam.
Formerly the consideration of a bond could
not be inquired into in a court of law; but the practice is otherwise at present, both in England and here. The cases are to this effect in 2 Wils. 341, 1 Bl.R. 445, Pow.Con. 333. The evidence must therefore be allowed.
