Opinion
THE COURT was of opinion that Andrew Jamieson could not, by parol, contradict his seal, and was at law estopped, to deny the age. And in equity he had no claim to the further services of the boy, because he saw the boy at the time he took him, and agreed to his age, and expected only twelve years’ service from him. THE COURT discharged the boy.
