Syllabus
<p>CONTRACT — CONSTRUCTION—EVIDENCE.</p> <p>1. Plaintiffs entered into an agreement by which they were to furnish the material and do the printing for a periodical, and look exclusively to the earnings of the periodical for payment, and in no event to hold the publisher individually liable for the expenses of the publication. After the publication had been going on for some time, and the expenses over and above the earnings had reached a considerable sum, plaintiffs refused to go on any further unless paid cash for the future issues of the paper. The publisher, who was without means to satisfy the demand, transferred the printing of the periodical to other parties, and plaintiffs brought the present suit to hold him personally liable for the debt of the paper. Held, the contract of the parties is the law of the ease, and plaintiffs cannot recover.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
