Plaintiff was owner of a boarding-house, which he rented to a tenant, who was a woman and a stranger to plaintiff. Defendant introduced his tenant to plaintiff and requested him to let her have such meats as she required and charge the same to him. Held, that defendant was liable for balance of account for meats so delivered to the tenant of defendant; the promise being an original one, and not within the statute of frauds.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the court.)</p>
