Appellant's Case.

In 1742 the Resp. Cossley applied to Zachariah Bourryau (the App. son-in- law) to borrow £4,000 or £5,000 by way of mortgage of his estates. App. agreed to purchase the moiety for £4,300 or £1,000 by way of fine for the lease of the other for 7 years at £400 per annum rent, and by Indentures of Lease and Rel. of 29 and 30 July 1744 Cossley and Judith B., his mother, in consideration of £5,300 granted to the App. one moiety of Eolus's Valley containing 2,370 acres and a moiety of 173 negroes, and she released her dower and demised the other moiety for 7 years at £400 rent. The App. discovered the estates were subject to 2 mortgages, one of June 1723 by said Cossley's father, whereby he conveyed est. to Peter Roe and Joseph Hiscox against a bond to Aaron Lamego for £1,950, the other dated 25 July 1741 reciting that Hiscox had paid L., and Cossley owed Joseph H. son and heir and Ex'or of said J. H. £2,596, and in consideration of £300 grants est.. to J. H. for £2,896. App. refused to proceed, but Cossley agreed he should retain £3,800 to discharge incumbrances. App. paid Hiscox £1,000 in part, and lent Cossley £943 more. 20 and 21 March 1745 Cossley & B., in consideration of said £943 granted to Bourryau the demised moiety on mortgages. 9 and 10 July 1746 Hiscox in consideration of said £1,000 and £3,186 paid by App. released the est. to Bourryau as trustee. Cossley then borrowed £400 by Rd. Oliver, esq., and he and his mother executed a mortgage of the demised moiety to him 20 Jan. 1746, and on 25 March 1748, C. borrowed £276 of O. and O., in collusion with C., threatened to proceed and ship some of the negroes, whereupon App. paid said O. £676. Sarah C., sister of John Cossley, set up demand for £1,500 c. under her father's will. App. exhib. his Bill 2 July 1748 in the Court of Chancery in England. Sarah C., on 9 Jan. 1749, attained her age and claimed £1,500 c. and £251 c. arrears, and by Ind. of 6 March 1749 for £240 paid by Rd. O., assigned leg. to him as security. 9 June 1750 App. in consideration of £367 paid to O. and £908 to S. C. they confirmed to App., and it was charged to the demised moiety. 30 July 1752 there was due to App. £2,950. C. went in Dec. 1750 from England to Jamaica and seized the plantation and sugars. 10 and 11 May 1752 C. and his mother for £10,000 c. pretended to be paid by John Cossley Hall sold one moiety of est. 20 July 1753 App. filed his Bill in Jamaica. 1755 Defendants deny fraud. 22 Nov. 1755 App. prayed for possession of est. but motion refused. Appeal to H. M. in C. To be heard 6 March 1758. Written : "Order made to give possession to Mr Spooner."
