Opinion

Doderidge, J.

The words are not actionable. Perhaps he meant that his belly bursted open. To say: that he has broken twice is not actionable, for many persons who have been bankrupts heretofore are now able.

Jones, J.

He will break shortly may be actionable; but I will make him break shortly is not.

Crew, C. J. agreed.

And a day was given to shew cause why judgment should not be arrested. Marshall vs. Allen. Noy 77. Hutton vs. Boreman. Bendl. 170.
