1828 Sept. 27
Blackstone or Civil Code

Service rendered by the transmission of a valuable subject
matter of property, as above. Say – a transmissal
service.

The subject matter of the transmission is either
1. specific 1. determinate or indeterminate or 2. pecuniary: in a word it is either
money on the one hand, or any subject matter whatsoever
other than money, on the other hand.

The case where the subject matter is money requires
explanation.

In the case where the subject matter of transmission
is specifi determinate it is in law language commonly termed specific
in this case the person from whom the service is due has no direction as to the individual subject matter
when it is indeterminate, or say pecuniary,
the individual thing subject matter of transmission in which
it the power shall be exercised is at the claim of the person from
whom the service is due, by whom the service is to be
performed. Out Of all the several individual pieces of that
money sort of thing whatsoever it be to which to this purpose the government gives
the character and effect of money, the person from whom the
service is due – say the service-ower is at liberty thus
to employ what he pleases, so as taken in the aggregate
their value is equal to that in question.

Where the subject matter of the service (the service
rendered by transmission) is pecuniary, the service due
or say owed is stiled a debt: and in respect of it the party the person from whom
it is due is termed a debtor: the person party to whom it
is due – to whom the benefit is to be rendered, the creditor.
But in those denominations are not scarcely ample enough to include is not scarcely included
the case where the subject matter of transmission is, as above
determinate: in this case for comprising this case, thus instead
word denomination employed may be instead of debtor, service-ower
or quasi debtor and the service due a quasi debt.

In contradistinction to pecuniary, a service which has for its
subject matter a determinate
subject matter may be
styled quasi-pecuniary.
