Rueter v. Howe

¶1*579 Assumpsit. The defendant authorized the plaintiffs to deliver ale to one Donahoe, during the next twelve months after September 4, 1877, not exceeding the amount of $500, and promised to pay them for it if Donahoe did not. During the twelve months the plaintiffs delivered to Donahoe $500 worth of ale, for which he paid them; and afterwards, during the same twelve months, they delivered to him more than $7,000 worth, for some of which he has not paid them. The plaintiffs having been paid for what they delivered on the defendant’s authorization, judgment was ordered for the defendant.
