Syllabus

<p>Vendos and Purchaser — Conteact •— Construction — Pasties.</p> <p>Plaintiff, claiming that he was induced to build a planing mill at Gibbsland, La., through the representation of defendant that he would donate two acres of land for that purpose, sues the defendant for damage for failure to do so.</p> <p>Held, the claim is neither just nor well founded. Defendant, to the knowledge of plaintiff, was acting in the matter as an intermediary assisting plaintiff in obtaining the land, and the situation to his knowledge was such as to place it out of defendant’s power to make title to him when asked to do so.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
