Syllabus

<p>ACTION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT — LEASE OF COMMUNITY LAND — PARTIES.</p> <p>The fact that one of two joint lessees paid all the money on the contract of lease does not warrant an action by him alone for breach of the contract.</p> <p>An action for money had and received cannot be maintained for the breach of a contract, although such contract was invalid for the reason that it was a lease of community lands executed by the husband alone.</p>
