California Court of Appeal February 18, 1949, Civ. No. 3746 (Allen v. Dillow)

BARNARD, P. J.

This is an appeal from an order granting a new trial.

It appears without dispute that the parties entered into an oral agreement by which two of the plaintiffs were to take charge of and operate a cattle ranch owned by the defendant, and he was to give them $100 a month, furnish them a house in which to live, furnish eggs, butter and milk for them and for the family of Williams,
