The sum to be paid was certain in amount Whether the event would ever occur which would require the payment was uncertain; but, if it did occur, the amount to be paid was fixed.

St., which is that, ‘in all cases of contingent debts and contingent liabilities contracted by the bankrupt, * * * the creditor may make claim therefor, and have his claim allowed, with the right to share in the dividends, if the contingency happens before the order for the final dividend.’ ””
