notwithstanding such defeazance as aforesaid  and that the say several statute be so enter into by the testator only to  screen the purchase make by he in trust for the appellant this bill therefore  pray that the say statute staple may be set aside and that the respondent may  be relieve in the premise the appellant have answer this last bill and therein  refer to their several answer in the court of exchequer pray that the same may  be take as part of brown er p their answer to the bill in chancery the cause  be hear on the saint of may and it appear full in proof by the evidence of one  shippy who be clerk to the testator that he be witness to a deed of defeazance  date the that of November and see the same execute by the appellant Latin to  the testator that he believe the paper write produce to he on his examination  be a true copy of such defeazance and that he have examine the say paper with  the entry of the defeazance in the book in the recognizance office and it also  appear by the evidence of Walter Burton Esq who be in the year brown clerk in  that office that the paper so prove by shippy to be a copy if the defeazance  he see execute by the appellant Latin to the testator be a true copy of the  entry in the recognizance book of the that of November that two several  statute staple and two defeasance be bring to he to be enter in the office and  that he enter the same as appear in the say book and it also appear by many  concur circumstance that the defeasance so enter be execute by the appellant  Latin to the testator the court decree a injunction to put the respondent into  possession of the say lot of ground on George Quay and mercer dock and that a  perpetual injunction shall issue to stay the appellant lattins proceed upon  the statute staple enter into by the testator to he as to the land which the  respondent claim as heir at law of the testator and it be refer to a master to  state the account of the profit of the say lot of ground from the time of the  extent lie thereon by the appellant Latin and also to take a account of the  personal estate of the testator and that the appellant more shall stop execute  any extent upon the statute staple enter into by the testator to he until the  return of the master report and that in case it shall appear that there be  asset sufficient of the testator to pay what be due on the appellant more be  statute staple the same shall be pay thereout in case of the real estate which  the heir at law of the testator be entitle to and the court decree cost  against the appellant Latin and more but the cost against more be to be pay  out of asset from this decree the present appeal be bring and on behalf of the  appellant it be insist c Wearg t Lutwyche that there be not the least proof  make of the appellant lattins execute any such deed as that of the that of  June import a defeazance to the statute staple of pound for the person suppose  to be witness thereto swear they know nothing of the execution of it that the  evidence offer to support the other pretend defeazance of the that of November  be so lose and uncertain that no credit ought to be give to it and the person  suppose to be a subscribe witness to that defeazance be examine for the  respondent have on his oath deny that he ever know or hear of such a deed that  the entry make in the book of the clerk of the recognizance in chancery ought  not to be admit as evidence of any such deed that office be in no sort appoint  by any law or custom to make or receive entry of any statute staple or  defeasance of any kind nor bath there be any entry of deed usual or at any  time make in the say office that there be the less reason for make such entry  in the present case because there be no proof make of the execution of the  deed nor be it attempt to be show when or by who order such entry be make or  who pay for the same that there be no sort of evidence of the appellant more  be have brown execute any defeazance nor even a entry thereof in any book  whatsoever neither do it appear that he have sue out any extent or liberate  upon his statute staple but he be bring into court by the respondent without  any ground and yet cost be decree to be pay to they as against he out of the  testator asset that if such entry not warrant by any law usage or custom shall  be admit as evidence to establish deed it will be of very dangerous  consequence render all property precarious and introduce and encourage perjury  and confusion and therefore it be hope that the decree will be reverse and the  respondent bill dismiss with cost on the other side it be say p York c Talbot  that it appear by the evidence of Mr shippy the testator clerk that a  defeazance be execute by the appellant Latin to the testator of the statute  staple for pound date the that of November whereby certain land in the county  of Kildare be only to be extend on account of the statute staple and therefore  the appellant Latin have no right under any pretence whatever to extend any  other estate of the testator that it appear in proof in the cause that the  defeasance on the statute staple of the brown er p that of June and that of  November be bring with the statute to be enter together in the recognizance  book of the court of chancery and it also appear that these defeasance be  enter in that book next to their respective statute staple on the very clay  when those statute be enter it be therefore reasonable to believe that the  same be clone by the appellant Latin or some person by his authority since  there be no other entry of the say statute staple in the book and it be  observable that it be upon the entry of the statute for pound next to which  the defeazance be enter that the appellant Latin sue out his extent and by  virtue thereof get possession of the lot of ground that accord to the schedule  which the appellant have annex to their answer in the court of exchequer the  personal estate of the testator which they have possess themselves of be not  sufficient to pay the debt due on these statute staple and yet by the same  answer they confess to have pay about pound in debt of a inferior nature and  legacy to the amount of pound and also to have divide among themselves and the  two other executor all the testator plate household furniture and jewel which  it be not to be imagine they will have do have the statute staple be in force  or the debt due thereon then subsist that neither of the appellant in their  several answer in the exchequer ever once think fit to mention or insist on  their demand under these statute staple although that bill pray to have the  residuum of the testator real and personal estate undisposed of by his will  and though the testator die in yet the appellant Latin do not think fit to set  up his statute staple till the year which be four year afterward and when he  brown apprehend the respondent be likely to recover the lot of ground on  George Quay that the liberate sue on the statute for pound be mark for the sum  of pound and which addition of pound can only be for interest accrue due in  the testator lifetime as well as after his death whereas it be not probable  that the testator consider his great circumstance will suffer such a arrear of  interest to accrue or that the appellant Latin consider his circumstance can  have permit the same to remain unpay and as there be no proof that he ever  advance a single shilling of the several sum for which the statute staple be  acknowledge or ever demand or receive any interest thereof the inference be  strong that they be only give to secure the fraudulent purchase above mention  and therefore it be hope that the decree will be affirm and the appeal dismiss  with cost accord after hear counsel on this appeal it be order and adjudge  that the same shall be dismiss and the decree therein complain of affirm and  that the appellant shall pay to the respondent the sum of pound for their cost  in respect of the say appeal and it be further order that nothing in this  judgement contain shall be take to be bind upon the personal estate of the  testator William Alcock with relation to the several statute in the proceed  mention or any of they but every person interest in or claim title to the say  personal estate shall be at liberty to disprove the say statute or any of they  either in this present suit or in the court of exchequer or in any other  manner as they shall be advice jour vol p
