MILLS V. WYMAN
20 Mass. (3 Pick) 207 (1825)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Mills (P) appealed the decision of the Court of Common Pleas issuing judgment in favor of Wyman (D) in assumpsit action to cover compensation for the board, nursing, and care of D's son.
FACTS: Levi Wyman was 25 and on a return voyage from sea and was helped by Mills (P). On his return from a foreign country, he fell sick among strangers, and P acted the part of the good Samaritan, giving him shelter and comfort until he died. Wyman (D), Levi's father, then wrote a letter to P to pay all the expenses for the care of his son. There was no consideration for this promise except that between the son and D. D decided not to pay. P sued for the payments. The court directed a non-suit because there was no consideration. P appealed.
