New York Supreme Court October 15, 1850 (Allaire Works v. Guion)

By the Court, Mitchell, J.

When the plaintiff entered into the employment of the defendants there was a contract on their part to pay him, and on his part faithfully to discharge his duties. If this was not expressed it was implied. He sues, (as to all except $400,) on this contract, or on the notes, which have no other consideration than that contract.
