  CONSIDERATION, contracts. A compensation which is paid, or all inconvenience 
  suffered by the, party from whom it proceeds. Or it is the reason which 
  moves the contracting party to enter into the contract. 2 Bl. Com. 443. 
  Viner defines it to be a cause or occasion meritorious, requiring a mutual 
  recompense in deed or in law. Abr. tit. Consideration, A. A consideration of 
  some sort or other, is so absolutely necessary to the forming a good 
  contract, that a nudum pactum, or an agreement to do or to pay any thing on 
  one side, without any compensation to the other, is totally void in law, and 
  a man cannot be compelled to perform it. Dr. & Stud. d. 2, c. 24 3 Call, R. 
  439 7 Conn. 57; 1 Stew. R. 51 5 Mass. 301 4 John. R. 235; C. Yerg. 418; 
  Cooke, R. 467; 6 Halst. R. 174; 4 Munf. R. 95. But contracts under seal are 
  valid without a consideration; or, perhaps, more properly speaking, every 
  bond imports in itself a sufficient consideration, though none be mentioned. 
  11 Serg. & R. 107. Negotiable instruments, as bills of exchange and 
  promissory notes, carry with them prima facie evidence of consideration. 2 
  Bl. Com. 445. 
       3. The consideration must be some benefit to the party by whom the 
  promise is made, or to a third person at his instance; or some detriment 
  sustained at the instance of the party promising, by the party in whose 
  favor the promise is made. 4 East, 455;1 Taunt. 523 Chitty on Contr. 7 Dr. 
  & Stu. 179; 1 Selw. N. P. 39, 40; 2 pet. 182 1 Litt. 123; 3 John. 100; 6 
  Mass. 58 2 Bibb. 30; 2 J. J. Marsh. 222; 5 Cranch, 142, 150 2 N. H. Rep. 97 
  Wright, It. 660; 14 John. R. 466 13 S. & R. 29 3 M. Gr. & Sc. 321. 
       4. Considerations are good, as when they are for natural love and 
  affection; or valuable, when some benefit arises to the party to whom they 
  are made, or inconvenience to the party making them. Vin. Abr. 
  Consideration, B; 5 How. U. S. 278; 4 Barr, 364; 3 McLean, 330; 17 Conn. 
  511; 1 Branch, 301; 8 Ala. 949. 
       5. They are legal, which are sufficient to support the contract or 
  illegal, which render it void. As to illegal considerations, see 1 Hov. 
  Supp. to Ves. jr. 295; 2 Hov. Supp. to Ves. jr. 448; 2 Burr. 924 1 Bl. Rep. 
  204. If the, performance be utterly impossible, in fact or in law, the 
  consideration is void. 2 Lev. 161; Yelv. 197, and note; 3 Bos. & Pull. 296, 
  n. 14 Johns. R. 381. 
       6. A mere moral obligation to pay a debt or perform a duty, is a 
  sufficient consideration for an express promise, although no legal liability 
  existed at the time of making such promise. Cowp. 290 Bl. Com. 445 3 Bos. & 
  Pull. 249, note; 2 East, 506; 3 Taunt. 311; 5 Taunt. 36; 13 Johns. R. 259; 
  Yelv. 41, b, note; 3 Pick. 207. But it is to be observed, that in such cases 
  there must have been a good or valuable consideration; for example, every 
  one is under a moral obligation to relieve a person in distress, a promise 
  to do so, however, is not binding in law. One is bound to pay a debt which 
  he owes, although he has been released; a promise to pay such a debt is 
  obligatory in law on the debtor, and can therefore be enforced by action. 12 
  S. & R. 177; 19 John. R. 147; 4 W. C. C. R. 86, 148; 7 John. R. 26; 14 John. 
  R. 178; 1 Cowen, R. 249; 8 Mass. R. 127. See 7 Conn. R. 57; 1 Verm. R. 420; 
  5 Verm. R. 173; 5. Ham. R. 58; 3 Penna. R. 172; 5 Binn. R. 33. 
       7. In respect of time, a consideration is either, 1st. Executed, or 
  Something done before the making of the obligor's promise. Yelv. 41, a. n. 
  In general, an executed consideration is insufficient to support a contract; 
  7 John. R. 87; 2 Conn. R. 404; 7 Cowen, R. 358; but an executed 
  consideration on request; 7 John. R. 87 1 Caines R. 584; or by some previous 
  duty, or if the debt be continuing at the time, or it is barred by some rule 
  of law, or some provision of a statute, as the act of limitation, it is 
  sufficient to maintain an action. 4 W. C. C. R. 148 14 John. R. 378 17 S. & 
  R. 126. 2d. Executory, or something to be done after such promise. 3d. 
  Concurrent, as in the case of mutual promises; and, 4th. A continuing 
  consideration. Chitty on Contr. 16. 
       8. As to cases where the contract has been set aside on the ground of a 
  total failure of the consideration, see 11 Johns. R. 50; 7 Mass. 14; 8 
  Johns. R. 458; 8 Mass. 46 6 Cranch, 53; 2 Caines' Rep. 246 and 1 Camp. 40, 
  n. When the consideration turns out to be false and fails, there is no 
  contract; as, for example, if my father by his will gives me all his estate, 
  charged with the payment of a thousand dollars, and I promise to give you my 
  house instead of the legacy to you, and you agree to buy it with the legacy, 
  and before the contract is completed, and I make you a deed for the house, I 
  discover that my father made a codicil to his will and by it be revoked the 
  gift to you' I am not bound to complete the contract by making you a deed 
  for my house. Poth. on Oblig. part 1, c. 1, art. 3, Sec. 6. See, in general, 
  Obligation,, New Promise; Bouv. Inst. Index. b. t,; Evans' Poth. vol. ii. p.
