Definition of Peter V. Compton

((1694), Skinner, 353). This was an action upon an agreement of the defendant, in consideration of one guinea paid to him, to give the plaintiff fifty on the day of his marriage. The marriage did not happen within a year, and the question was whether or no the agreement must be in writing. Held, that ” an agreement which is not to be performed within one year from the making thereof ” means, in the Statute of Frauds, an agreement which from its terms is incapable of being performed within the year. Therefore the agreement in this case need not be in writing
