Gillespie v. Winn
California Supreme Court
Gillespie v. Winn, 65 Cal. 429 (Cal. 1884)
4 P. 411; 1884 Cal. LEXIS 584
Gillespie v. Winn
Opinion of the Court
We think the motion for nonsuit was properly granted. The claim on which the action is based was never presented for allowance to the defendant as the administrator of the estate of Mrs. Hersperger, deceased, nor is it shown that the money which she received as the guardian of plaintiff ever came into the hands of defendant as such administrator, or otherwise. On the other hand, the only evidence introduced on the trial tends to prove the exact reverse.
Judgment affirmed.
