rally to act for her, in colleéting ard 
* getting in the eftate of the deceafed, and

executrix, as aforefaid.”’ <* And gene- 
rally for me, as executrix, as, aforefaid,

change on Mr. Baillie, dated the roth 
Jan. 1794, for that fum, valve in account 
with Fames Baillie, payable the 1ft Sept. 
17953 to their own order: This was ac- 
cepted-by Edmund Thornton, as procu- 
rator for Mrs. Baillie. When the bill 
became due, the drawers brought an ac- 
tion on it againft Mrs. Baille, in the 
common pleas, and recovered a verdiét 
for 330]. damages. At the trial there 
was evidence to fhow that the defendant 
knew that Thornton had accepted the 
bill in queftion in her name, in payment 
of the debt due to the plaintiffs ; and in 
particular it appeared, that when the 
officer ferved her with procefs, fhe ac- 
knowledged the juftnefs of the debt,

handiqmely, and should be paid, ;
