McGuire, 34 Or. 309 , 55 Pac. 872 , “tlie third party acquires an equitable interest in the property, fund, or thing; and the law, acting upon the relationship of the parties and their treatment of the fund, establishes the requisite privity, creates a duty, and implies a promise which will support the action.””
