promised to pay; or it maybe defined, simply. an agreement by which a person
promises a creditor to pay him.
2. When a person by this pact promises his own creditor to pay him,
there arises a new obligation which does not destroy the former by which he
was already bound, but which is accessory to it; and by this multiplicity of
obligations the right of the creditor is strengthened. Poth. Ob. Pt. 2, c.
6, s. 9.
3. There is a striking conformity between the pactum constitutae
pecuniae, as above defined, and our indebitatus assumpsit. The pactum
constitutae pecuniae was a promise to pay a subsisting debt whether natural
or civil; made in such a manner as not to extinguish the preceding debt, and
introduced by the praetor to obviate some formal difficulties. The action of
indebitatus assumpsit was brought upon a promise for the payment of a debt,
it was not subject to the wager of law and other technical difficulties of
the regular action of debt; but by such promise, the right to the action of
debt was not extinguished nor varied. 4 Rep. 91 to 95; see 1 H. Bl. 550 to
