Opinion

Johnson, J.

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This was clearly a promise to pay the debt of another. There was no such consideration passing from the plaintiff to the defendant, as to constitute it an original undertaking. The promise not being in writing, was void under the statute of frauds, and the judgment must, therefore, be reversed.

Judgment reversed.
