wages would be paid 10 money. and that Tor
the balance lie should receive one Ofthe old
man ; daughters iu marriage. The labor
was performed and ibe money was paid. but
the rirl was not Forthcoming. This was
not the fault Of the old man. but Of the
daughter. who refused 10 be made the sub.
/ iect Of bargain and sale. WhereuPcn the
laborer sued the father upon The contract.
