LEGATION. We have nothing to do In
these talks with merely social obliga-
lions; We treat only OF such engage.
ments 0r agreements as the law holds
binding.
We DISTINGUISH, too. between kinds
Ut contracts: for instance, = contract
may be express or II may be implied.
An express contract IL one where the
terms + expressed or stated. either
orally or In writing. An implied con.
tract Is n where the facts In con
nection with the matter are such that
the law will infer certain things. u
| 20 into a store where | have credit,
take up a article. and say to the
clerk, Il will take this. Charge It to
me- the contract is not nm express
contract: there u no price set. nc
time of payment indicated, no promise
Of payment. The law, however, infers
that ! have made . promise to pay d
reasonable price for the article In d
reasonable or the customary time.
We often hear 1t said that a con
tract Ii not good without a "cOnsId'
~eratiOn.r or that 4 contract must have
a consideration to support II. The
meaning Of this II simply that q prom
ise cannot be inforced in Law unless
something Is paidsOr promised to be
paid for the promise. or unless the
person to whom the promise Ii made
has done something or suffered some
loss BY depending on the promise. II
! promise to make you a present and
fall to do 70, you cannot hold me In
law accountable for breaking my pro.
mise. no matter how much inccnven.
lence or unhappiness II may cause
you. II, however. / promise to do
