D. heretofore, to wit, on, &c. at, &c. respectively, (n) submitted themselves to the award of one E. F. to be made between them, of and concerning the said differences; and in consideration thereof, and that the said A. B. at the special, &c. of the said C. D. had then and there undertaken, &c. (0) the said C. D. to perform and fulfil the award of the said E. F. to be so made *between the said A. B. and C. D. of. [⚫ 120 ] and concerning the said differences in all things therein contained on his part and behalf, to be performed and fulfilled, he the said C. D. undertook, and then and there faithfully promised the said A. B. to perform and fulfil the said award in all things therein contained, on his part and behalf, to be performed and fulfilled. And the said A. B. in fact saith, that the said E. F. having taken upon himself the burthen of the said arbitrament afterwards, to wit, on, &c. at, &c. aforesaid, made his certain award (2) between the said A. B. and the said C. D. of and concerning the said differences (g), and did thereby then and there award (r) that the said C. D. should, on, &c. pay to the said A. B. the sum of L.100, in full satisfaction and discharge of the said matters in difference. Of which said award the said C. D. afterwards, to wit, on, &c. aforesaid, at, &c. aforesaid, had notice ($). And although he the said C. D. afterwards, to wit, on, &c. at, &c. was requested by the said A. B. to pay him the said sum of L.100, according to the tenor and effect of the said award, and his said promise and undertaking. Yet the said C. D. not regarding his said promise and undertaking, but contriving and fraudulently intending craftily and subtly to deceive and defraud the said A. B. in this behalf, did not, nor would when he was so requested as aforesaid, or at any time afterwards, pay the said sum of L.100, or any part thereof, to the said A. B. but hath *hitherto wholly [121]

(n) Declarations on awards must state a mutual submission.-If the action were brought on an arbitration bond, it is otherwise, for the defendant by praying Oyer, shews that there was a mutual submission, 2 Saund. 61. h. n. 2. 2 Stra. 923.

(0) The mutual submission implies mutual promises to observe the award, 11 Mod. 170.

(p) The award in pleading must be stated to have been made agreeably to the submission-as if the submission were, so that the award be made in writing," &c. it must be stated to have been so made, 2 Saund. 62. n. 3.

Kyd on Awards, 291.

(r) The plaintiff need not, in a declaration, state more of the award than is relative to his case, unless where there is a condition precedent, which qualifies the terms of the award, and performance of which must be averred, 2 Saund, 62. b. n. 5. 1 Burr. 278. 1 Salk. 72. [Vide M'Kinstry v. Solomons, 2 Johns. Rep. 57.]

(s) This averment is unnecessary; for one party is as much bound to take notice of the award as the other, unless the stipulation be that the award shall be notified to the parties, in which case notice must be averred, 2 Saund. 62. a. n. 4. [Sed vide 9 Mass. Rep. 198: 200.]

For that whereas before the making of the promise and undertaking of the said C, D. hereinafter next mentioned, a certain action had been commenced and prosecuted by and at the suit of the said A. B. against the said C. D in the court of our lord the now king, before the king himself, for the recovery of a certain sum of money, to wit, the sum of L., then and at the time of the making of the promise and undertaking of the said C. D. hereinafter next mentioned, due and owing from the said C. D to the said A. B. (u). And which said action at the time of the making of the said promise and undertaking of the said C. D. hereinafter next mentioned, was depending in the said court, to wit, at, &c. aforesaid, whereof the said C. D. then and there had notice. And thereupon heretofore, to wit, on, &c. at, &c. aforesaid, in consideration of the premises, and that the said A. B. at the special instance and request of the said C. D. would cease to prosecute the said action, and would stay all further proceedings therein, (5) he the said C. D. undertook, and then and there faithfully promised the said A. B. to pay the costs of commencing and prosecuting the said action in a week then next following. And the said A. B. avers, that he confiding in the said promise and undertaking of the said C. D. did then and there cease to prosecute the said action, and hath thence hitherto stayed all further proceedings *therein; and that the costs of commencing and prosecuting the said action amounted to a large sum of money, to wit, the sum of L., of lawful, &c. whereof the said C.

(7) It is not necessary to state the subject matter of the debt, though some demand recoverable at law, or in equity, must be stated; ante, 121, n. u. It is better not to state it with unnecessary particularity, Peake's Rep. 117.

(2) The mere promise of a third person to pay the debt of another, without a stipulation by the plaintiff to forbear, or some other new consideration, is not valid, 1 Saund. 211. a Com. Dig. Action on the Case on Assumpsit, B. 1, 2. [8 Johns. Rep. 39.] The promise of an heir, who has no assets by descent, to pay the debt of his ancestor in conside

ration of forbearance, is not binding, 2

sumpsit, F. 8. 4 East. 455. [Sed vide 4
Johns. Rep. 237. 239.] See the form of
declaring against an heir, 2 Saund. 135.
but a promise by an executor, in con-

(c) When goods are sold on a credit not elapsed at the time of declaring, and on the terms that the defendant should deliver a bill of exchange to the plaintiff, or accept a bill in his favour, it is necessary to declare specially for not delivering or accepting the bill, as in this precedent, 4 East. 147. 3 B. and P. 582. but if the credit be elapsed at

the time of declaring, though after the writ issued, and after the first day of term, the plaintiff may recover on the common counts, the declaration being entitled specially of a day after the credit elapsed, 4 East. 75. As to when interest is recoverable, see 13 East. 98.

(d) Sometimes the understanding is from the date of the contract; the contract must be described precisely according to the agreement of the parties.

B. by a certain bill of exchange, a part of the said price of the said malt, to wit, the sum of L.100; and although the said A. B afterwards and before the expiration of four months from the delivery of the said malt as aforesaid, to wit, on, &c. aforesaid, at, &c. aforesaid, requested the said C. D. to pay him the said A. B. the residue of the said price of the said malt, by such bill or bills of exchange as aforesaid; yet the said C. D. not regarding his said promise and undertaking, but contriving and wrong. fully and unjustly intending, craftily and subtly to deceive and defraud the said A. B. in that behalf, did not nor would when he was so requested as aforesaid, or at any time before or afterwards, pay the said A. B. the residue of the said price of the said malt or any part thereof, by a good bill or bills of exchange, payable in four months from the delivery of the said malt as aforesaid, or otherwise howsoever, but hath hitherto wholly neglected and refused, and still neglects and refuses so to do; and by reason thereof, he the said A. B. hath lost and been deprived of the use and benefit of the bill or bills of exchange, which he the said C. D. ought to have delivered to the said A.
