Cartter
Fallon v. Chronicle Publishing Co.
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court:
The judgment of the circuit court must be affirmed in this case for two reasons:
1. For want of mutuality in the contracts sued upon.
2. Because the contracts come within the fourth section of the statute of frauds, requiring contracts not to be performed-within a year to be in writing.
Judgment affirmed.
