Head Matter:
Maddox vs. Pierce.
G. wished to procure credit from P., but was refused. M., who had G. in his employment at the time, told P. to let G. have goods, and he would see it paid. The credit was given to M., and was refused to be given to G.:
Held, that such promise on the part of M. was an original undertaking, and not an agreement to answer for the debt or default of another. His promise to see it paid was the same as a promise to pay it himself, and so both parties understood the transaction at the time. 73 Ga., 739.
Judgment affirmed.
March 10, 1885.

Opinion:
Blandeord, Justipe.
