certain and exprefs agreement : as, by a bond fora deter- 
minate fum ; a bill or note; a fpecial bargain; ora rent re- 
ferved on a ies that is fixed and unalterable. The non- 
payment of ad is an injury, for which the proper remedy 
is by a€tion o t, to compel the cic etee of the con- 
tract, and recover ay fpecific fum that is due 
This is the fhorteft and fureft r remedy 3 particularly where 
the debt arifes upon a fpecialty, that 1s, upon a deed or in- 
ftrument under feal. Thus alfo, if I hs agree to pay 
a man a certain price for a certain parcel of goods, and fail 
in the performance, an a@ion of debt lies againft me; for
