6 Wash. 99 | Wash. | 1893
The opinion of the court was delivered by
This action was brought to set aside an assignment of a lease on the ground that the same was made
We have examined the proofs and are satisfied that this finding of the court was warranted. There are some features of such proofs which are open to criticism, but taking them all together and considering the fact that the lease was made by a sister to a brother, and was of wild land, which, until it had been improved by the labor of the lessee, would have little or no rental value, we think that they can all be harmonized and made consistent with the fact that the assignment was executed in the best of faith, and for a consideration not disproportionate to the value of the lease.
The judgment must be affirmed.
Dunbar, C. J., and Anders, Scott and Stiles, JJ., concur.
