Battle, J.
The propriety of the judgment of nonsuit in this case is fully shown by the cases, among others, of Potts v. Lazarus, 2 Car. L. Repos. 83 ; Redmond v. Coffin, 2 Dev. Eq. Rep. 441, and Oliver v. Dix, 1 Dev. & Bat. Eq. Rep. 158. The acknowledgement of the debt due to the plaintiff by the defendant was not in his individual, but his representative capacity; and the law implies a promise to pay by his principal instead of himself. The judgment is affirmed.
Pee. CuRIam. Judgment affirmed.
