In the case of Mease v. Mease, [Cowp. 47.) the action was debt on a bond conditioned for payment at a certain day; plea, that it was given as an indemnity to the plaintiff’s testator against another bond, and plaintiff not damnified, and ondemurrer to this plea, the question was, whether the agreement stated in the plea could be given in evidence against the express condition of the bond. It was argued for the
Judgment for the plaintiff, with leave to the defendant to amend, on payment of costs.
