Syllabus

<p>1. Logs and Logging — Licenses—Contract —Mutuality.</p> <p>It was a license, as it purports to be on the face of the paper. If any more than a mere license, it was a nudum pactum, by reason of its binding only one of the parties to the contract, which the parties must have intended to be commutative.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 33, Logs and Logging, § 13.]</p> <p>2. Same — Agbeement Violated.</p> <p>If it was more than a license, and not a nudum pactum, the defendant did not comply with its terms, and for that reason, also, it is null.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
