Facts
Glanvil (D) sold a jewel to Courtney (P) for 360 pounds and three others jewels of one hundred pounds. D pretended that the 360-pound jewel was worth that much when in fact it was worth 20 pounds. Glanvil took a bond of 600 pounds in the name of Hampton for the security for the transaction and then procured an action in Hampton's name, and the action was confessed, and D paid all the charges of both parties. P discovered the deceit, exhibited his bill in chancery for relief, and afterward brought writ of error to reverse his judgment, but that was affirmed. After a hearing in Chancery, it was decreed that D should take the jewel and one hundred pounds and that he should procure Hampton to release and acknowledge satisfaction. D did not do so and was imprisoned.
