as when they are for natural love and affection ;

A mere moral obligation to pay a debt or perform a duty ,
is a sufficient consideration for an express promise ,
although no legal liability existed at the time of making such promise .

But it is to be observed ,
that in such cases there must have been a good or valuable consideration ;
for example ,
every one is under a moral obligation to relieve a person in distress ,
a promise to do so ,
however ,
is not binding in law .
One is bound to pay a debt which he owes ,
although he has been released ;
a promise to pay such a debt is obligatory in law on the debtor ,
and can therefore be enforced by action .

it is sufficient to maintain an action .

When the consideration turns out to be false and fails ,
there is no contract ;
as ,
for example ,
if my father by his will gives me all his estate ,
charged with the payment of a thousand dollars ,
and I promise to give you my house instead of the legacy to you ,
and you agree to buy it with the legacy ,
and before the contract is completed ,
and I make you a deed for the house ,
I discover that my father made a codicil to his will and by it be revoked the gift to you '
I am not bound to complete the contract by making you a deed for my house .
