IN ERROR, on certiorari, from a justice’s court. Hull brought an action against Joseph and John Gary, before the jus tice, for a quantity of tanner’s bark sold and delivered. Plea, the general issue.

The defendants below had sold a wagon to Hull and his brother for 45 dollars, to be paid for in bark. Five dollars only were paid on that contract; and when the time had expired, Hull confessed two judgments before a justice for the balance, being 40 dollars. It was then agreed that Hull might yet make payment in bark, to be applied on the judgments.

The plaintiff accordingly delivered six loads of bark to the d = fendants below; but the parties not agreeing as to the price, the defendants issued executions for the whole amount of their judgments, which executions were in the constable’s hands at the commencement of this suit.

The justice gave judgment for the plaintiff below, for the value of the bark so delivered.
