Said bond is for the sum of two hundred fifteen dollars and one cent, payable on or about the 27th day of March 1827 -- ; said bond was obtained from me when I was intoxicated for a stud horse. – The horse was not delivered to me, and on the next day the contract between said PAINE and me was recinded, and he affirmed to me that he had burnt the bond and carried off the horse and sold him to a man by the name of LINDLEY in Orange County. I am determined not to pay the said bond or any part thereof.
