District of Columbia Court of Appeals April 15, 1874, No. 11072 (Fallon v. Chronicle Publishing Co.)

Cartter, Ch. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court:

The judgment of the circuit court must be affirmed in this case for two reasons:

1. For want of mutuality in the contracts sued upon.

2. Because the contracts come within the fourth section of the statute of frauds, requiring contracts not to be performed-within a year to be in writing.

Judgment affirmed.
