lec'iy satisfactory condition without any
person thinking CT bringing an action OF
this description" 1t was not established
until two centuries ago thst such an action
lay, although ss lar back as the reign of
queen Elizabeth an action somewhat like
that for breach OF promise was brought by
a man, who alleged that the woman
had given him fattering words
equal to promise of marriage.
Bn; the first action founded
on the allegation of promise Of marrisgs
was brought In the reign of Charles 7.
Ihe speaker reviewed the laws Of other
COUNTRIES touching this subject. Tae italian
and Austrian laws DO not regs-d mutual
promise OF future marrisye az producing
any legal obligation DO contract il. The
Dutch law is substantially the same. In
