Breed v. Hurd

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Breed v. Hurd, 23 Mass. 356 (Mass. 1828)

Breed v. Hurd

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

To our surprise, there are cases very nearly like this, where the offer was held to be a valid tender ; as in Harding v. Davies, 2 Carr. & Payne, 77, where a woman stated “ that she had the money up stairs.” Here the witness said he could get the money in five minutes. We all think this was not a tender. The party must have the money about him, wherewith to make the tender, though it is not necessary to count it. We think there was not a tender here, even on the broad cases in England.1

Defendant defaulted.

See Kraus v. Arnold, 7 Moore, 59; Leather dale v. Sweepstone, 3 Carr. & Payne, 342; Sargent v. Graham, 5 N. Hampsh. R. 440; Fuller v Little 7 N Hampsh. R. 535.
