from the contract, otherwise it will be presumed binding on him. In this
case, a marriage settlement was made for a young man who made a further
agreement to invest any money which he later acquired into the same

father. He regretted having made the commitment to invest it and
repudiated the agreement. It was held that the repudiation was too late, and
the agreement was binding.
