THE COURT.
Appellant, in his petition for a rehearing insisting that the trial court should have either entered judgment in favor of appellant for the sum of $4,500 alleged to he the unpaid portion on the contract involved in this action, or should have entered judgment for damages in favor of the plaintiff, overlooks the fact that under the contract involved in this action, after the sum of $3,000 was paid thereon, the remainder of the purchase price did not become due and payable until the machinery in question had been installed and placed in a satisfactory working condition.
Finding No. 2 of the trial court is to the effect that the machinery just referred to, to wit, two macaroni presses, did not function satisfactorily when installed, and that the appellant has never put said presses on a satisfactory working basis.
This being simply an appeal upon the judgment-roll, it must be assumed that the finding of the trial court is amply supported by the testimony. Under such circumstances, the remainder of the purchase price mentioned in the contract has not become due and payable, and will not become due and payable until the presses have been put in the working condition called for by the terms of the contract.
The petition for a rehearing is denied.
