CHASE v. MANHARDT. 337

In this state of things, on the 26th of March, 1812, this com-
plainant agreed to give James Bryden $12,000, for his interest in
this property, the half of which he then paid to Bryden, and on the
same day stipulated for the payment of the other half in these
words: "I agree that on James Bryden's delivering to me of the
original bond of my late father Samuel Chase, dated February
26th, 1806, duly assigned to Richard M. Chase, and also procuring
Mrs. Margaret Mclntosh of New York to assign and make over to
the said Richard M. Chase a release of a mortgage given by the
said James Bryden to her late husband; and also giving the said
Richard M. Chase a good title to the lots and houses in the city
of Baltimore, mentioned in the said bond, and also on his assign-
ing to the said Richard M. Chase the original policies of insurance
on the said houses : to give him good negotiable notes for the sum
of $6,000 payable six months thereafter." This is the contract
referred to in the bill as exhibit A; that referred to as the receipt
exhibit B, is not among the papers; and, as it was not noticed in
the argument, it is presumed was considered wholly unimportant.
It is not any where distinctly stated or shown from what time Bar-
ney was to be considered as the tenant of Chase; but it would
seem, that it was from the first of April 1812, as Barney says he
paid the whole of his rent to the end of his lease from that day to
the complainant Samuel Chase.

In October, 1808, the State for the use of Christian L. Man-
hardt, one of these defendants, obtained a judgment in Baltimore
County Court, against James Bryden, for the sum of $10,035 95,
to be released on the payment of $5,018 82, with interest from "the
1st of October 1803, and costs. Upon this judgment an attach-
ment was issued, and returned to March term, 1809, laid in the
hands of John H. Barney as garnishee, and at March term 1811,
the sum of $1,002 40, was condemned in his hands, but without
costs. This attachment was renewed and returned to October
1811, laid in the hands of John H. Barney, as garnishee, and
judgment was rendered against him for $494, without costs, at
March term, 1812. An attachment was then again immediately
sued out on the same judgment; and, as it would seem, some time
previous to the 17th of July following, was laid in the hands of
the complainant Samuel Chase, and so returned to the ensuing Sep-
tember term. This case was afterwards continued, from term to
term, until March 1817, when it was entered, " continued to await
the decision in a cause in chancery." And at the following Sap-
