Good consideration is such as that of blood, or of natural love and affection, being founded on motives of generosity, prudence, and natural duty; hence "good" consideration is sometimes opposed to "valuable" consideration, i.e., one by which some benefit accrues to the promisor or some detriment to the promisee. The only purpose for which a good consideration in this sense was effectual was to support a covenant to stand seised to uses and rebut the presumption of a resulting trust on a voluntary conveyance.
