124 P. 681 | Or. | 1912
delivered the opinion of the court.
Moreover, by reason of the long delay from thé date of the contract to the commencement of the suit on September 24, 1909, the transaction savors so strongly of gambling on the price of real estate wherein the stake of the plaintiff is only $100, as against $6,000 on the part of the defendant, that the contract finds little favor in chancery.
The decree of the court below is reversed, and the suit dismissed, with leave to plaintiff, after he has paid the costs and disbursements of this suit, to take down the $100 tendered and paid into court for him by defendant.
Reversed and Dismissed.
