Página 587 - Every bidding is nothing more than an offer on one side, which is not binding on either side till it is assented to. But according to what is now contended for, one party would be bound by the offer, and the other not, which can never be allowed.
Página 145 - That every contract made for or about any matter or thing which is prohibited and made unlawful by any statute is a void contract, though the statute itself doth not mention that it shall be so, but only inflicts a penalty on the offender, because a penalty implies a prohibition, though there are no prohibitory words in the statute...

It is not a bargain to be paid in case the vendee should succeed in landing the goods; but the interest of the vendor is totally at an end, and his contract complete, by the delivery of the goods at Dunkirk.
Página 184 - ... that an agent employed to sell cannot make himself the purchaser, nor, if employed to purchase, can he be himself the seller.
Página 10 - I state it to be a clear proposition, that the vendor of goods not paid for, may retain the possession against the vendee ; not by aid of any equity, but on grounds of law.
