SINGLE, contracts, is a writing by which one person or more, promise to another or others, to pay him or them a sum of money at a time therein specified, without any condition. It is usually under seal. It differs from a promissory note in this, that the latter is always payable to order; and from a bond, because that instrument has always a condition attached to it, on the performance of which it is satisfied. 5 Com. Dig. 194; 7 Com. Dig. 357.
