Megeath v. Ashworth
Megeath v. Ashworth
Opinion of the Court
This action was brought to recover upon a promissory noté. The complaint is in the usual form. The answer sets out that the consideration for the note was the sale of an automobile by plaintiff to defendant; that the plaintiff guaranteed the same to be in good mechanical condition; that the automobile was defective and was not in good mechanical condition; that a rescission of the contract of sale was made between the parties. The court found that the contract of sale had been rescinded and rendered judgment for defendant.
It is the contention of appellant, plaintiff, that that finding is not supported by the evidence, and that there was no consideration to support the contract of rescission. The contention is without merit. Defendant testified that some months s after the sale of the car and the execution of the note he advised the plaintiff that the car was of no service to him, and asked him to give back the note and declare the deal off, to which, he testified, the plaintiff replied: “All right. Take the car and put it in my barn. ’ ’ Accordingly
The judgment of the district court is affirmed, with costs.
