Dennis v. Southworth

Plaintiffs, Andrew Dennis and Barbara J. Dye (partners), brought this action claiming that in November of 1965 the defendant, Elmo Southworth, had sold them a D-8 tractor for $4,900. They claimed that the sale was confirmed by two written instruments dated June 15, 1966, wherein it was agreed that plaintiffs would do certain work for defendants and that one-half of the payment for the work would be in cash and the other half would be applied to the purchase price of the tractor. Plaintiffs claimed that they completed the work and were entitled to $3,050, which defendant refused to pay.
