A, by will, devises to B 400 pounds, which was the sum lent, in full satisfaction of all the monies which he owed E, and subjects his real estate to the payment of his debts. The debt which A owed B amounted, by reason of interest, to 800 pounds, but was barred by the Statute of Limitations : Court will suppose the testator mistaken in his computation, and the whole debt shall be paid.
