4. NOW THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH, that in pursuance of the said agreement, and in consideration of the sum of 1,940Z. sterling, the produce of the said sum of 2,000l. Three per cent. Consolidated Annuities, so as aforesaid paid by the said (mortgagee) to the said (mortgagor) on the execution hereof, the receipt of fee. which the said (mortgagor) hereby acknowledges, and therefrom doth release, exonerate and for ever discharge the said (mortgagee), his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns; HE the said

And Grose, J,, has observed, that the true measure of damages in all these cases, is, that which will completely indemnify the plaintiff for the breach of the engagement. If the defendant neglects to replace the stock at the day appointed, and the stocks afterwards rise in value, the plaintiff can only be indemnified by giving him the price of it at the time of the trial. It is no answer to say that the defendant may be prejudiced by the plaintiff's delaying to bring his action, for it is his own fault that he does not perform his engagement at the time, or he may replace it at any time afterwards, so as to avail himself of a rising market. Lawrence, J., also said, " suppose a bill were filed in equity for the specific performance of an agreement to replace stock on a given day, which had not been done at the time, would not a court of equity compel the party to replace it at the then price of the stock, if the market had risen in the meantime?" (2 East, 212, 213.) The same measure of damages was also adopted in the case of Pope v. Burke (Sittings after Michaelmas Term, 1799, at Westminster, C. B. cor. Lord Eldon), 2 East, 213, n. (a) In M'Arthur v. Seaforth, it was however held, that in an action upon a bond for not replacing stock, the obligee is not entitled to special damage for what he might have made if it had been sooner replaced, unless he shows that he demanded payment for that express purpose: (12 Taunt. 257.) And in a more recent case (Harrison v. Harrison, 1 Car. & P. 412), the rule adopted on a writ of inquiry on a bond to replace stock, was, to take the price at the day of trial, or on the preceding day, and not at the option of the plaintiff at that day, or on the day on which it ought to have been replaced: (see also Downes v. Back, 1 Stark. N. P. C. 318.) In equity it seems to have been considered that the obligee is entitled to the value of the stock at the time of the transfer, with interest at five per cent. to the date of the Master's report; upon the principle of the fair measure of damage sustained by the breach of the condition by not transferring the stock at the time appointed, in consequence of which the penalty of the bond became forfeited at law; and also on the habit of the court as to compensation where a trustee improperly sells out; in which case the cestui que trust has an option either to have the stock, or the money produced by it with interest: (Forrest v. Elwes, 4 Ves. 497.)
