Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia
Assumed; promised. This is a technical word which ought to be inserted in every declaration of assumpsit charging that the defendant undertook to perform the promise which is the foundation of the suit; and this though the promise he founded on a legal liability or would be implied in evidence.
