Opinion of the Court
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.
