Smith v Hughes (1871) LR 6 QB 597:

… “The promiser is not bound to fulfil a promise in a sense in which the promisee knew at the time the promiser did not intend it.” And in considering the question, in what sense a promisee is entitled to enforce a promise, it matters not in what way the knowledge of the meaning in which the promiser made it is brought to the mind of the promisee, whether by express words, or by conduct, or previous dealings, or other circumstances. If by any means he knows that there was no real agreement between him and the promiser, he is not entitled to insist that the promise shall be fulfilled in a sense to which the mind of the promiser did not assent.
