    CARSON v. LEWIS.
    Court of Common Pleas. New Castle.
    May, 1795.
    
      Bayard’s Notebook, 97.
    
    
      Johns, for defendant,
    objected that the consideration of a bond could not be gone into.
    
      
      Bayard for plaintiff. Johns [for] defendant.
   [Per] Curiam.

Formerly the consideration of a bond could

not be inquired into in a court of law; but the practice is otherwise at present, both in England and here. The cases are to this effect in 2 Wils. 341, 1 Bl.R. 445, Pow.Con. 333. The evidence must therefore be allowed.
