Oregon Supreme Court March 28, 1904 (Brett v. Warnick)

Mr. Justice Wolverton,

after stating the facts in the above terms, delivered the opinion of the court.

Two questions are presented: (1) Whether the complaint states a cause entitling plaintiffs to equitable relief, and (2) whether the agreement relied upon for recovery is subject to the objection that it is essentially a wagering contract, and therefore void, as in contravention of public policy.
