Jones v. Meyer

Supreme Court of California
Jan 17, 1884
1 P. 892 (Cal. 1884)

Opinion

         Department 1.

          SYLLABUS

         The evidence herein sustains the finding objected to, and substantially responds to the issue.

         Becknell & White, for respondent.

         Smith, Brown & Hutton, for appellants.


         McKINSTRY, J., McKEE, J.; Ross, J.

          OPINION

          McKINSTRY, J.

         Appellant contends that finding 1, that defendant "refused to allow plaintiffs to reject 100 sheep from the band of sheep numbering about 2,000 that he offered to deliver to plaintiffs," does not respond to the issue, which was: Did defendant offer to deliver 2,000 sheep, permitting plaintiffs to reject 100 of them? But the court found that he offered to deliver a band of sheep, and he refused to allow plaintiffs to reject 100 of these so offered. And there was evidence to sustain the finding. The witness Collom testified: "The defendant had a band of sheep there that he alleged to be two thousand in number, which he offered to deliver to us, but refused to allow us to reject one hundred of the number," etc.

         Judgment and order affirmed.

         We concur: McKEE, J.; Ross, J.
