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 prom- ' ise be founded on a legal liability, or would be implied in evidence.
Bac. Abr. "Assumpsit" (F); 1 Chit. PI. 88, note (p).
