The writing upon which this defence is grounded, is not under seal, and. is .without consideration; it must be deemed a mere nudum pactum. (Harrison v. Close, 2 Johns. Rep. 450.) It is, therefore, unnecessary to advert to the conditions showing the intention of the party, as stated in the writing itself, to decide whether it could be controlled by such condition, admitting it to be sufficient in other respects,
Judgment must be entered for. the plaintiff..
