26 Atwood v. Cobb, 16 Pick. (Mass.) 230, 26 Am. Dec. 657. And see ULL-SPERGER v. MEYER, 217 111. 262, 75 N. E. 482, 2 L. R. A. (N. S.) 221, 3 Ann. Cas. 1032, Throckmorton Cas. Contracts, 74; Peck v. Vandemark, 99 N. Y. 29, 1 N. E. 41; Frazer v. Howe, 106 111. 563; Farwell v. Mather, 10 Allen (Mass.) 322, 87 Am. Dec. 641; Gordon v. Avery, 102 N. C. 532, 9 S. E. 486. See "Frauds, Statute of," Dec. Dig. (Key-No.) § 113; Cent. Dig. §§ 239-241.
"If the promise in terms, however, be to pay what the goods are reasonably worth, or if the promise be simply to pay for the goods, from which the law would infer a promise to pay their reasonable worth, then no definite or fixed price need be stated in the writing." Turner v. Lorillard Co., 100 Ga. 645, 28 S. E. 383, 62 Am. St. Rep. 345, per Cobb, J. See "Frauds, Statute of," Dec. Dig. (Key-No.) § 112; Cent. Dig. § 23S.
28 Ide v. Stanton, 15 Vt. 685, 40 Am. Dec. 698; Adams v. McMillan, 7 Port (Ala.) 73; Hall v. Misenheimer, 137 N. C. 183, 49 S. E. 104, 107 Am. St. Rep. 474. In the case last cited it is said, per Walker, J.: "There is quite a difference between the price to be paid by the vendee and the consideration necessary to support the contract and enforce it against the vendor. The latter can be shown by parol as at common law, and the writing, as said by Ruffin, C. J., in Miller v. Irvine [18 N. C. 104], need not contain any matters but such as charge him (the vendor); that is, such stipulations as are to be performed on his part. He is to convey, and the writing must be sufficient to show that this duty rests upon him, as one of the parties to the contract, when he is sought to be charged. The vendee is to pay a certain price, and the writing must likewise show his obligation - its nature and extent - when the action is against him" [citing Clark on Contracts (2d Ed.) pp. 85, 86, 87]. See "Frauds, Statute of," Dec. Dig. (Key-No.) § 112; Cent. Dig. § 238.
29 Skyward v.. Gardner, 5 Wash. 247, 31 Pac. 761, 33 Pac. 389. See "Frauds, Statute of," Dec. Dig. (Key-No.) § 112; Cent. Dig. § 238.
