Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court March 15, 1815 (Adams v. Bean)

Parker, C. J.

There can be no doubt, that the covenants in the lease were binding upon Weeks, although Fijield, who was intended to be a party to it, never executed it.† Each party would have been bound jointly and severally, had both executed the indenture ; and the execution by one, who took possession under the lease, must have made the contract complete as to him.
