Full opinion text
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.
