Plaintiff and one John Farmer laid a wager upon the result of a horse race, each depositing with the defendant as stakeholder the sum of one hundred dollars, to be paid to the winner, plaintiff or Farmer, as the case might be. The race resulted unfavorably for the plaintiff, and after it had taken place, but before the money deposited had been paid over to Farmer, plaintiff notified defendant not to pay it over, and demanded the return of the sum of one hundred dollars deposited by himself, with which demand defendant refused to comply.
