168 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
The bill alleges the indebtedness of said Roger to the com-
plainants, and avers that at the time of their trusting him, he
was owner of a certain parcel of land, which he had purchased
of said Thomas R. Beard, and on which he had erected a
valuable dwelling-house, store-house, and other buildings, with
his own labor and money, whereby the property had become
greatly enhanced in value, but at that time had not obtained a
deed therefor; that complainants trusted him on the faith and
credit of said property, of which he was so possessed; that
owing to said Beard a small balance of the purchase-money,
viz. $144, and being pressed by complainants for payment of
their debts, by false and fraudulent representations, and with

of respondent's wife, in the sum of $500, with interest from
the year 1840, proposed to respondent to pay their debt to
their mother, in payment of respondent's debt to them.
Respondent was unable to do so, and offered instead, to
convey said lot to them, in payment thereof; said Nicholsons
would not agree to that arrangement, but said that their
mother, Mrs. Elliott, would agree to have the money invested
in the purchase of the lot for respondent's wife, if respondent
would agree to that arrangement, and have the conveyance
made. Respondent afterwards saw, and spoke with Mrs.
Elliott on the subject, and she agreed to the proposition made
by said Nicholsons. It was accordingly made, and the convey-
