Johnsons v. Anderson
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided November 15, 1812
3 N.J.L. 982

Johnsons v. Anderson

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

— There is no legal consideration on which the promise can attach. If this was law, usury and oppression would take a wide range. The creditor, in most cases, suffers an inconvenience in case of the want of púne*717tuality in his debtor; he cannot, however, recover more than the debt, interest and costs; nor will a promise to pay more, help his case.

Judgment reversed.
