BARNUM VS. RABORG. 519
said day of purchase, of the real estate of the said David Bar-
num, known as 'Belmont,' and as said David's country seat.
We hereby bind ourselves and our heirs, on demand, to pay
said executors, the said purchase money with interest afore-
said, part of said purchase money being eight thousand dollars
of principal, for which George Brown has a mortgage lien on
said estate. As witness our hands and seals this twenty-first
