47 Cal. 594

Young America Engine Co. No. 6 v. City of Sacramento

Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

1. The trust and the beneficiary were expressly declared on the face of the deeds—from Hunter to Robinson and others, and from the latter to the defendant—and parol evidence will not be allowed in such case upon the part of the trustee, the defendant here, to show that the trustee, and not the cestui que trust named in the deed, was the beneficiary.

2. No point is made as to the form of the decree, and we will not consider it.

Judgment affirmed. Remittitur forthwith.
