Mr. Justice Fraser:
I dissent. The defendant did not seek to vary the terms of a written agreement by parol. They set up a new agreement that could be made by parol. The plaintiff already had the Indiana truck, and no delivery was possible. The plaintiff’s witness testified:
“Q. Anyhow you got' in touch with a prospect who agreed to pay,you $1,000 for it? A. Yes, sir.
“Q. And you got in touch with the Nesmith-Flowers Company right away'? A. Yes, sir.
“Q. And they said accept it, and you said you would immediately give them credit for that amount? A.. Yes, sir.”
I think the case should have gone to the jury.
