A bond being granted by a man to a lawyer, bearing, that it was for pains taken by him in his affairs, and because he had debursed some charges in doing thereof; and therefore binding him to pay the said lawyer a sum at the term after the granter's own decease, if, before his said decease, he did no other deed derogatory to the said bond; and also, if he died having no heirs-male of his own body; this bond was found not to be donatio mortis causa, being granted for onerous causes, and so not revocable nor alterable.
