Adams v. Anderson , 4 H. & J. 558 ( 1819 )

Buchanan, J.

delivered the opinion of the court. It is objected that the agreement in this case is a special verbal promise to answer for the default of another person, and void under the statute of frauds. In the opinion of the court it is clearly,not such an undertaking, but is a palpa» ble cheat and fraud on the part of the appellant, for which the appellee is entitled to damages.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
