(Guest)

OMNE MAJUS CONTINET IN SE MINUS. Means The greater contains the less.2

On this principle, if a man tender more than he ought to pay, it is good ; and the other party ought to accept so much of the sum tendered as is due to him. But a tender by a debtor of a bank-note of a larger amount than the sum due, and out of which he requires

change, is not a good tender, for the creditor may be unable to take what is due and return the difference ;though if the creditor knows the amount due to him, and is offered a larger sum, and, without any objection on the ground of change, makes quite a collateral objection, that will be a good tender. Where, however, a party has separate demands for unequal sums against several persons, an offer of one

sum for the debts of all, not distinguishing the claims against each, is not a valid tender, and will not support a plea by one of the debtors, that his debt was tendered.
