“In Jonesboro Hardware Co. v. Western Tie & Timber Co., 134 Ark. 543 , we said: “We have several times held that a parol promise to pay the debt of another is not within the statute of frauds when it arises from some new and original consideration of benefit or harm moving between the newly contracting parties. We have also held that a waiver of legal right is a sufficient consideration to support a promise to pay the debt of another.””
