¶1It is no cause of arrest that the jury have found their verdict upon insufficient evidence, for they are judges of the weight of evidence. Woodruff v. Whittlesey, Kirby, 61. The consideration of the promise is laid to have been in April A. D. 1781, but the promise did not arise until the plaintiff was compelled to pay Ool. Champion said order; and it was a promise or obligation which the law raised from the natural equity of the transaction, and not within said statute.
