Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Contracts — Interpretation. The interpretation of an unambiguous written contract is a matter of law for the court, and such a contract, when completed, is supposed to embody all prior understandings and negotiations, and is not to be enlarged, varied or contradicted by parol testimony.</p> <p>2. - Terms Construed. The contract in question held to be for the furnishing of a particular pasture, and not for furnishing sufficient pasturage for a certain number of cattle.</p> <p>3. -Liability for Damages. The neglect of duties devolving on plaintiffs’ own agent furnishes them no basis for the recovery of damages from the defendant.</p>
