assumpsit

The first case in assumpsit /3/ only meant to adopt this long familiar thought.

It was settled that assumpsit would lie for a mere omission or nonfeasance.

It is inscribed Pater meus et fratres mei dereliquerunt me; Dominus autem assumpsit me!

Assumpsit as a form of action became obsolete after the passing of the Judicature Acts 1873 and 1875.

Paine pleaded non assumpsit, and, after gaining the case, paid Wilburn the money.
