    Purkis’ reasons of appeal are in S. F. 1795.5. They state that the bond was made to Proudlove and Baskervyle or either of them, or to the attorney or assignee of either of them, “soe yt either of them dividually had sufficient power in themselues which they or one of them might legally assigne or Communicate to an other & it sayes; (vel Assignat Suis) Soe yt none but in reason must beleue yt the Assine or Atturney of either of the Principalls have power to Sue receiue & give Legall discharges in this Case.”

    The answer to the Reasons of Appeal (S. F. 1795.3) makes the following points. First, whatever was paid to Proudlove (the obligee who did not give the power of attorney) was paid on this bond; and the defendant had no reason to bring into court Proudlove’s receipts as a defense inasmuch as Proudlove was not named in the action. Second, the power of attorney was not good because it did not come from Proudlove, who was “first named in the bond, and in reason to be accounted Principle before mr Lawrence Baskervyle, for soe it was in those dayes, that mr Baskervyle was little knowne in London, and lookt upon onely as an inferior to mr Proudlove.” Third, the power of attorney is invalid because not signed by both principals; for “the words in the bond are (seu eorm certm Attorn.) whereby it plainely appeares, that the power of Atturneyship is from both, and not divided.” Fourth, Purkis (in the passage quoted above from his reasons of appeal) “by confusedly Joyneing the two words, Atturney, and Assignee together,” tries to ignore the distinction in the bond that either principal could assign, but both must sign a power of attorney; “Because, though the bond sayes, (vel Assignatis suis) his Assignes); yett when it Speakes of Atturney, it sayes, (seu eorm certm Attorn.) or the certaine Atturney of them, soe that . . . the onely full power of grauting Atturnyship lyes in both of them conjunctly, . . . soe the Appealant had noe pwer to sue.” The defendant’s final point is, “the law, title Attachments, sayes, if the person and cause be rightly understood, &c: But in this cause, by the attachment; the Defendant, without Revelation, or divination, (neither of which he yett hath) could possibly rightly understand, what he was sued for; untill the bond appeared in Court.” The bond then showed the defendant that the suit was for money due to Proudlove and Baskervyle, but he was wholly unprepared to meet such a claim, having had no reason to produce Proudlove’s receipts. If now cast, the defendant would lose the moneys already paid to Proudlove. The only reason for his not producing the receipts was the plaintiff’s negligent or intentional omission to put Proudlove’s name in the attachment as the law required to make the person and cause rightly understood. Therefore, the defendant hoped for a non-suit in the County Court; but when he was overruled, the jury, “according to their discretion & Judgement of the law,” found for the defendant.
