Courtney v. Hunter

gave judgment for the plaintiff upon both points. The case of Rann v. Hughes [supra] seems decisive, on the 2d point, that the implied promise can only be coextensive with the consideration. If the consideration be assets merely, the implied promise is a promise as administrator, and the judgment is de bonis testatoris. If the consideration be personal the implied promise is personal, and the judgment de bonis pro-priis.
