It seems to be settled that there is a distinction between misfeasance and nonfeasance in the case of mandates .
In cases of nonfeasance ,
the mandatary is not generally liable ,
because his undertaking being gratuitous ,
there is no consideration to support it ;
but in cases of misfeasance ,
the common law gives a remedy for the injury done ,
and to the extent of that injury .
