PRESIDENTS FOR Bills Answers Replications Demurrers Rejoynders c. in Chancery A Bill to be relieved against Bonds being but a Surety and for obtaining an Injunction To the Right Honourable Sir Orlando Bridgeman Knight and Baronâ— Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England IN all Humbleness Complaining sheweth unto your good Lordship your daily Orator J. S. c. That whereas about a year now last past your said Orator having but lately before attained to his full Age of 21 years and being in possibility of good means from his Father was inveigled and drawn in by one J. H. of I. Goldsmith and one G. B. whom the said H. used for his Instrument therein and did at their solicitations and perswasions and upon their promises to supply your Orator with Money for his then present occasions enter into and became bound together with the said B. and one I. I. then a stranger to your Orator unto the said I. H. in and by two several Bonds of Obligations the oneâ—â— them bearing date in or about c. being of the penalty of 20 〈◊〉 with condition for the payment of 100 l. or thereabouts at Sâ—â— Moneths then following or some other time in the said Conditioâ— mentioned now long since past and the other of the said Bonâ—â— bearing date c. at the time of entring into which said Bonds yoâ—â— Orator was confidently told and promised as well by the said G. B. as by the said J. H. that he your said Orator should have for 〈◊〉 own use all or the greatest part of the Money mentioned in thâ— several conditions thereof and that he should not be compelled 〈◊〉 repay unto the said J. H. any more Money but only so much as he should receive upon the Security of the said Bonds and the interest thereof after the rate allowable by the Statute and that he should not be troubled with any payment untill he well were enabled by his Fathers means to discharge it which moved your Orator the more willingly to enter into the said Bonds he presuming that he should have had his want of ready Money supplied thereby but after your Orator had entred into sealed and delivered the said Bonds he could not get nor did receive of or from the said J. H. the Obligee or any other any Money at all or other thing whatsoever nor was there any Money at all or other thing of any value disbursed paid or delivered by the said J. H. upon for or in respect of the said Bonds so entred into or either of them but if any Money or Commodities were disbursed or delivered for or upon the said Bonds then was it of small value and that received only by the said G. B. who either converted the same unto and for his own private use or else paid it back and restored it to the said J. H. or whatsoever it were howsoever disposed of yet had not your Orator ever any penny or part thereof and thereof your Orator presumed he should not have been any way troubled sued or molested upon or by reason of the said Bonds or either of them he having not received the Money or any part thereof for which the same were intended nor any consideration at all for or in respect of such intended nor any consideration at all for or in respect of such his entring into the said Bonds but was greatly disappointed for want thereof to his no small hindrance as was and is well known both to the said J. H. and G. B. whom after the entring into the said Bonds your Orator often solicited for the Money thereupon promised unto him and they as often delayed him with promises thereof but to this day your Orator never had nor could get from them or either of them any money commodities or other considerations whatsoever and so was meerly abused by them therein Yet now so it is may it please your good Lordship that the said J.
