An express assumpsit is where one undertakes verbally or in writing ,
not under seal ,
or by matter of record ,
to perform an act ,
or to pa a sum of money to another .
3 .
An implied assumpsit is where one has not made any formal promise to do an act or to pay a sum of money to another ,
but who is presumed from his conduct to have assumed to do what is in point of law just and right ;
for ,
1st ,
it is to be presumed that no one desires to enrich himself at the expense of another ;
2d ,
it is a rule that he who desires the antecedent ,
must abide by the consequent ;
as ,
if I receive a loaf of bread or a newspaper daily sent to my house without orders ,
and I use it without objection ,
I am presumed to have accepted the terms upon which the person sending it had in contemplation ,
that I should pay a fair price for it ;
3d ,
it is also a rule that every one is presumed to assent to what is useful to him .

Assumpsit lies to recover damages for the breach of all parol or simple contracts ,
whether written or not written express or implied ;
for the payment of money ,
or for the performance or omission of any other act .
For example ,
to recover ,
money lent ,
paid ,
or had and received ,
to the use of the plaintiff ;
and in some cases ,
where money has been received by the defendant ,
in consequence of some tortious act to the plaintiff '
s property ,
the plaintiff may waive the tort ,
and sue the defendant in assumpsit .
