A is bound to B in a single bill for payment of andpound;100, te andpound;100 is paid, and the bill delivered to A, and afterwards B by force takes it from A. B sues A upon this bill : this delivery and taling by force is not a plea in this suit ; for a writing sealed and delievered shall not be avoided by parol : where there is an obligation, or a bill it is good ab initio. An infant shall avoid his debt contracted during his ingancy : if it be not for necessary provisions, cloaths and schooling. Coverture shall avoid a deed : so of duress used to get an obligatory deed : so if a deed be read otherwise than it is, an illiterate or a blind man.
