Mart  Lansdownb,  having  four  sons,  Richard,  John,  Thomas,  and  Wil-
liam, by  settlement  limited  to  each  of  them  in  fee  a  part  of  her  real  estates,
after  her  death.  The  plaintiff  was  the  son  and  heir  of  Richard.  John  died
without  issue,  having  devised  his  share  to  Thomas,  and.  Thomas  afterwards
died  without  issue  and  intestate.  On  this  a  question  arose  between  the
plaintiff  and  William  as  to  the  right  of  succession  to  Thomas ;  after  con-
sulting with  one  Hughes,  they  agreed  to  divide  the  lands  between  them,
and  in  pursuance  of  the  agreement  they  executed  first  a  bond,  and  after-
wards conveyances  of  the  shares  fixed  on  for  each.
