Sullivan,
    June, 1900.
    Brown v. Fowler & a.
    
    Assumpsit. Trial by jury and verdict for the plaintiff.
    
      Ira Colby & Son, for the plaintiff.
    
      Brown & Dana, for the defendants.
   Young, J.

The defendants excepted to the court’s refusal to instruct the jury that the consideration of a promise to pay the debt of another must be expressed in -writing. This is not an open question, for it has been held for more than a quarter of a century that if need not be so expressed. Britton v. Angier, 48 N. H. 420; Lang v. Henry, 54 N. H. 57, 59; Goodnow v. Bond, 59 N. H. 150; McDonald v. Fernald, 68 N. H. 171.

Exception overruled.

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