Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Terryburnett

Terry, J., delivered the opinion of the Court—Burnett, J., concurring.

The debt of an insolvent bankrupt is due in conscience, not-, withstanding his discharge, and is a sufficient consideration to \ support a subsequent express promise to pay.

A verbal promise is sufficient at common law, and there is nothing in our statutes which changes the rule.

Judgment affirmed.
