464 MURDOCK'S CASE.

There is not, therefore, now, nor has there been at any time de-
pending in this court, as is alleged, two suits between these parties
having the same object.

Whereupon, it is Decreed, that Elizabeth Murdock, administra-
trix of Gilbert Murdock, deceased, pay to the plaintiff the sum of
$500, with interest thereon from the 27th of February, 1824, until
paid, and the costs of this suit on or before the 2d day of Novem-
ber next. And that on the said mortgage debt and costs being
paid, the plaintiff convey to the defendant all the term of years yet

order, together with a copy of the foregoing petition, be served on

No cause having been shewn, an injunction to deliver possession

possessionem was, on motion, ordered, by virtue of which, the

The trustee further reported that he had sold forty-four acres of
