her jointure and arrear only  from the d of November when the act of resumption commence the clause be  reject and another insert to entitle her to her jointure agreeable to the  adjudication of the trustee but that in order to frustrate the effect of this  latter clause the appellant who be register to the trustee afterward obtain  from they a certificate that they have adjudge to Katherine her jointure and  arrear from the death of Simon and therefore it be insist that under these  circumstance the respondent be only liable to account for the arrear of the  jointure from the d of November that the appellant ingenuity in obtain the  certificate after the act for the respondent relief be pass ought not to  prevail and that the decree as to this point ought to be reverse to this it be

fallacy and imposition that  doctor castle be the only person with who the appellant treat for the match  but that he have never receive a single shilling of the money pay upon the  bind the respondent therefore in Hilary term exhibit his bill in the court of  chancery against the appellant in order to recover back the guinea and pound  with interest to this bill the defendant plead the statute of limitation and  by his answer it appear that he have deposit the earl of radmor security with  one Samuel Jackson have give his bind to James Isaackson and have pay the  money to one tower but as to who these people be or where or in what capacity  they live no satisfactory account be give on the that of march the plea be  argue when the benefit of it be save to the hear and the cause be at issue the  plaintiff prove by diverse witness that doctor castle be the uncle and sole  guardian of the young lady and the person who have the sole disposal both of  their person and fortune that he be the only person with who the defendant  treat for the marriage and to who he have write many letter on that subject  which be produce and verify that the lady be never out of the company of the  doctor and his wife and two other gentlewoman who be their constant companion  both at home and abroad that no person be ever depute to treat with the  defendant for the match nor one penny ever ask or receive as a gratuity for  effectuate it and that Isaackson Jackson or tower be never know see or hear of  the defendant enter into no evidence to support the case make by his answer on  the d of June the cause be hear before the Lord chancellor Harcourt who  declare that he be far from be satisfy that there ever be any such agreement  as in the answer touch the payment of the guinea or that there be any such  person as Isaackson Jackson or tower or that they have any power to influence  the match or be ever represent to have such power or that any money be pay by  the defendant can the bind pretend to have be enter into by he but that the  same appear to have be set up on a fraudulent account and upon a  misrepresentation brown of the defendant and be not real execute by he and  that therefore the plea of the statute of limitation ought not to avail he any  thing but in reheard to the length of time since the bind be pretend to be  enter into it be refer to a master to see whether any such brown er p bind be  execute and to who the same be deliver after the execution thereof and whether  there be then any such person as Isaackson and tower and where they then live  or be yet live and whether any and what money be real and good fide pay and  when where to who and in who presence upon the say bind and after the master  report such further order shall be make as shall be just the defendant examine  one Philip oddy before the master to prove the execution of the bind who  confess that he write his name as a witness and believe that it be execute but  say he be a utter stranger to all the party and be accidental present be  desire to be a witness the master by his report of the that of February after  state this evidence certify that it do not appear to he to who the but be  deliver or by who it be take away after the execution thereof or that there be  any such person as lsaackson and tower at the time of enter into the bind or  whether they be then live or where they live or that any money be real and  good fide pay to any person whatsoever upon the say bind on the that of march  follow the cause be hear upon this report when the court declare that it full  appear by the master report that there never be any real transaction between  the defendant and Isaackson and tower and that the payment of the guinea and  be a mere fiction and fraud in the defendant and therefore decree that he  shall pay to the plaintiff the say guinea and pound with interest from the  time of fill the plaintiff bill and the cost of the suit from both these  decree and also from the order of the that of march the defendant appeal and  on his behalf it be insist e Northey S mead that the statute of limitation  extend as well to proceed in equity as at law and that the respondent bill be  in the nature of a action upon the case for money suppose to have be have and  receive to the respondent use above nine year before the bill exhibit without  so much as a pretence of any claim or demand in all that time nor any thing  surmise in excuse of this neglect there be no just reason for overrule the  appellant plea or deprive he of the benefit of the statute that upon the  circumstance of the case it be neither just or reasonable after so long a  acquiescence and at such a distance of time to require of the appellant any  other evidence or proof of payment than his own oath and the deliver up the  bind and the rather because the transaction be of a secret nature and  requisite to be keep brown so for the honour of the respondent family for  which reason the appellant keep no note or memorandum of it and it be by mere  accident that he find among lose and disregard paper some few of the  respondent letter which be prove in the cause on the other side it be only say  I Jekyll t Lutwyche that the order and decree appeal from be just and ground  upon the rule of equity and good conscience and that therefore the appeal  ought to be
