COVENTiON IN UNUM. The agreement between the two parties to a contract upon the sense of the contract proposed. It is an essential part of the contract, following the pollicitation or proposal emanating from the one, and followed by the consension or agreement of the other. If the second party does not assent to the proposal in the sense in which it is made, he is not bound by his assent unless his mistake is unreasonable.
