'''Facts''' The defendant wrote the plaintiff a letter and promised to pay the amount of a mortgage plus interest should he die before a certain date, as the plaintiff had predicted. The defendant had previously visited the plaintiff for test sittings, which was suggested by the plaintiff to be consideration for the agreement. He died before the date, just as she had predicted. '''Issues''' Whether legally binding consideration exists if the promise is made after the consideration is given. '''Holding/Decision''' Case dismissed, there was no contract. '''Reasoning''' Past consideration is already executed and does not support a promise made at a later time.
