out OF land deal in San Diego, by
which the plaintiff and appellant, Bates,
put up SIS, 900 or land deal. which did
not turn out as was expected. Plaintiff
then sued to recover, as the contract was
not reduced to writing. The supreme
court held that this was not essential, and
if the contract was entered into it was
binding.
The second was that of Alexander
Brown, appellant, VS.. J. Orne. respond.
ent. in which the judgment of the lower
court is reversed. The opinion is writ
ten by Commissioner Bslcher, CONQUERED
in by Commissioners Haynes and Ssarls,
and affirmed by Justices Mcfarland, Tenn
