Syllabus

<p>Action fob Money Laid Oct fob Defendant’s Use. — In an action to recover money laid out and expended for the defendant, it is necessary to prove, either directly or presumptively, that the defendant requested the plaintiff to lay out the money for his use.</p> <p>Idem.—If A voluntarily offers to expend money for the use of B, and B at the same time agrees with A to do certain things, and A then expends the money, and B afterward violates his agreement, A cannot sue B for money-laid out and expended for his use, even if he first rescinds the agreement. A’s remedy is for a breach of the contract.</p>
