off COUNTERMAND .
This word signifies a .
change or recall of orders previously given .
2 .
It may be express or implied .
Express ,
when contrary orders are given and a revocation .
of the former order is made .
Implied ,
when a new order is given which is inconsistent with the former order :
as ,
if a man should order a merchant to ship him in a particular vessel certain goods which belonged to him ,
and then ,
before the goods were shipped ,
he directed him to ship them in another vessel ;
this would be a countermand of the first order .
3 .
While the first command is unrecalled ,
the person who gave it would be liable to all the consequences in case he should be obeyed ;
but if ,
for example ,
a man should command another to commit a crime and ,
before its perpetration ,
he should repent and countermand it ,
he would not be liable for the consequences if the crime should afterwards be committed .
4 .
When a command or order has been given ,
and property delivered ,
by which a right vests in a third person ,
the party giving the order cannot countermand it ;
for example ,
if a debtor should deliver to A a sum of money to be paid to B ,
his creditor ,
B has a vested right in the money ,
and unless he abandon that right ,
and refuse to take the money ,
the debtor cannot recover it from A .
