The abandonment of the u of tobacco, alcohol, and billiards by the nephew was sufficient consideration to uphold the promi. The Court rejected the defendant's argument that the promie by refraining from the u of liquor or tobacco was actually benefited, that he should have refrained from doing the things independently of his uncle's promi; and that therefore unless the promisor was benefited, the contract was without consideration. The Court said such a rule would 'em to leave open in many cas whether that which the promie did or omitted to do was, in fact, of such benefit to him as to leave no consideration to support the enforcement of the promisor's agreement.'
