Gage v. Decourcey

41 A. 183, 68 N.H. 579

Opinion

Pike, J.

The plaintiffs were bound by their contract. The agreement of the other creditors to accept fifty per cent of their claims was a sufficient consideration for the plaintiffs’ like agreement. Trumball v. Tilton, 21 N. H. 128, 143; Allen v. Cheever, 61 N. H. 32. The prior payments in full were made with the knowledge of all the creditors; and the general finding for the defendants shows that they were not made in fraud of the agreement.

Exception overruled.

Clark, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
