Cooke, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1917.\nReversed and judgment of nil capiat and for costs.\nOpinion filed May 13, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Peter Billow, plaintiff, against Isaac Miller, defendant, on the promise to pay indebtedness for work done for one Jacob Zeman, under a written contract entered into between defendant and said Zeman. From a judgment for plaintiff for $336.80, defendant appeals.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Frauds, Statute of, \u00a7 17 \u2014 what is collateral promise. The promise to pay the indebtedness of a subcontractor under a written contract between the contractor and owner is not an original but a collateral one, and is obnoxious to the Statute of Frauds.\n2. Frauds, Statute of \u2014 when verdict should he directed for defendant. In an action on an agreement.to pay indebtedness of a subcontractor under a written contract between the contractor and owner, where it appears from the plaintiff\u2019s proofs that the contract is of such a nature and consequently a collateral one within the Statute of Frauds, it is reversible error to deny a motion by defendant for a directed verdict in his favor.\nFor an abstract of the decision on a former appeal, see 194 Ill. App. 524.\nEdward C. Berglund, for appellant.\nMax M. Grossman, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
