Feeny v. Daly
1857 Cal. LEXIS 299
Cal.
1857
Check Treatment
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.
