Syllabus

<p>Payment — Accord and satisfaction — Payment before debt is due.</p> <p>The rule that payment of a smaller sum is not a consideration to support an accord and satisfaction in regard to a larger sum due, has always been regarded as moi'e logical than just or businesslike, and even small circumstances of variation have always been held sufficient to prevent its application. Hence a payment in advance, no matter how short a time, has been uniformly held to constitute a good consideration.</p>
