Illustration
A and B make a contract in writing that B shall sell A certain cotton, to be paid for on delivery. At the same time they make an oral agreement that three monthsÂ’ credit shall be given to A. This could not be shown as between A and B, but it might be shown by C, if it affected his interests.
