Opinion of the Court

Doderidge, J.

If the judgments were had by covin, he may traverse generally; but perhaps they were rightly obtained, and afterwards an agreement made to pay to much per month in satisfaction, &c. in the mean time the judgments were kept on foot. In this case the keeping the judgments on foot is traversable, and the payment is only an inducement, and a matter of inducement is not traversable. Judgment was accordingly given for the plaintiff. Jones 171. Bendl. 166.
