SALMON v. CLAGETT. 127
Salmon hath agreed to give credit to, and to become surety and
endorser on notes drawn by the said Thomas Clagett in the prose-
cution of his said business, to the amount of ten thousand dollars
current money; and the said Elizabeth Clagett, Edmund Clagett,
&c., to indemnify and save harmless the said Charles Salmon, for
any advances he may hereafter make, or may have heretofore
made for or to the said Thomas Clagett; and also for any endorse-
ments which the said Charles Salmon may have heretofore, or shall
hereafter execute for or on account of the said Thomas Clagett,
have agreed to execute and deliver these presents.' The deed
then proceeds to convey to Charles Salmon all the interests of the
grantors in a tract of land lying in Anne Arundel county, called
Poplar Bottom, of which the late William Clagett died seised;
and ' also all the right, title and interest which the said Elizabeth
Clagett, Edmund Clagett, &c., have in and to the personal estate
of which the said William Clagett died possessed, consisting of
certain negroes, horses and cattle, which said land and personal
property is now in the possession and occupation of the said
Elizabeth Clagett and Edmund Clagett.'
And this deed then concludes with a proviso in these words:
' Provided always, and it is the true intent and meaning of these
presents, that if the said Thomas Clagett shall well and truly pay,
repay, and satisfy the said Charles Salmon for all advances of
goods or loans of money which the said Charles Salmon may
have heretofore made, or shall before the first day of October, in
the year eighteen hundred and thirty, make to the said Thomas
Clagett, on or before the first day of October, eighteen hundred
and thirty, and shall also indemnify and save harmless the said
Charles Salmon against all endorsements which the said Charles
Salmon may execute before the said first day of October, in the
year eighteen hundred and thirty, and shall also indemnify the said
Charles Salmon from and against all bills, bonds or notes which
the said Charles Salmon shall sign or seal as surety for the said
Thomas Clagett, before the said first day of October, in the year
eighteen hundred and thirty, the said advances, loans, endorse-
ments and other liabilities which the said Charles Salmon shall
incur or make on account of the said Thomas Clagett, not to ex-
ceed, at any one time, the sum of ten thousand dollars current
money, then and from thenceforth these presents and every matter
and thing therein contained to the contrary in any wise notwith-
standing, to be void,'
