Gridley v. Dorn
California Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment for the plaintiff, and from an order denying a motion for a new trial, in the Superior Court for the County of Butte. Hundley, J.
1Opinion of the Court
Ross, J.:
This is an action to recover a wager alleged by the plaintiff to have been made and won by him on the result of a horse-race. The defendants, who were the stakeholders, interposed a demurrer to the complaint, which was overruled by the Court; and thereupon they answered, denying that the plaintiff won the wager, but averring that the other party thereto did win it, and that as such winner they had paid the stakes to him. After trial, judgment was rendered for the plaintiff.
It is the first case of the kind that has reached this Court.
