The supreme court has decided two
Eddy county eases, reversing and re
manding in ene case, and affirming the
lower court in the other. A detailed
report of the cases follow:
S. S. Kvants, Appellee, vs. A. I,.
Taylor, Appellant. Krcm Kddy county.
This action was brought by S. S.
Evants on two promissory notes, dat
ed October 26, 1908, executed at Here
ford, Texas, payable to order of Ev
ants and signed by V. O. and A. L.
Taylor, in the order named. Each
note recites that it is given as part
payment on certain described prop-
lerty in the town of Hereford, Texas,
ia vendor's lien being retained to se
Icure the notes. W. O. Taylor appear
ed by his guardian, ad litem J. (1. Da
vis and answered that at the time he
signed the notes he was a minor
about the age of eighteen years and
that the notes were given in consid
eration of a deed from plaintiff to him
for the real estate described in the
notes, which deed is attached to and
made a part of his answer and fur
thering answering, says: "This de
fendant specially tenders back to
plaintiff n deed to said property, ten
dering back to plaintiff all that was
received on account of signing said
notes." etc." To which answer plain
tiff replies denying all the facts so
i (notes. A. T,. Taylor by his answer ad
mitted the execution of the notes, that
he signed said notes as surely tor W.
O. Taylor and that the consideration
of the notes was the conveyance of
the property described in them. W
O. Taylor, who was at the time an in
fant: that since attaining his major
ity he "disaffirms and revokes" said
notes and "has tendered back and sur
rendered back to plaintiff in this
cattse the lots and real estate for the
payment of which the two notes were
given.
The appellee demurred to this sec
ond amended answer on the ground
that it stated no defense in law;
which demurrer was sustained and ap
pellant filed his third amended ans
wer which was striken from the flies
on motion of appellee, appellant refus
ing to plead further judgment was
entered against him as prayed in the
complaint.
Judgment of the court below revers
ed, causa remanded.
Syllabus.
1. The surety on the note of a
minor, given in payment for real es
tate Is discharged from liability there
on, where the minor on becoming of
age, disaffirms the contract and re
stores the property purchased.
2. Where an infant purchased real
estate, and upon coming of age, disaf
firms the sale, he must in order to
make the disaffirmance effectual re
store the property, if he has title to
it, to his vendor, and In such case the
duty to restore becomes ' a right to
restore, which the vendor may not de
feat by refusing to take back the
property.
3. A defective allegation in a
pleading can only be raised by a de
murrer distinctly specifying the de
fect as a ground of objection. Sub.

flaintilr moved for judgment in its
favor upon the pleadings. Motion
granted and judgment, rendered as
prayed in the complaint.
Judgment of the court below af
firmed. Syllabus.
1. In an action for commission earn
ed by a broker in effecting an ex
change of property of his principal,
where the complaint pleaded a writ
ten contract of employment of the
broker by the principal to make an ex
change and a written contract of ex
change between the principal and a
customer procured by the broker; an
j answer which alleged (a) that the
! principal had not accepted the prop
erty of the customer; (b) that the
principal had not accepted the cus
tomer as a proper party with whom !
: to make an exchange other than on the
terms of the written contracts entered
into by them.; (c) that the written
contracts of exchange were intended
by the parties to be merely stipulations j
by which an exchange of property!
might be effected and not a valid, bind- I
Ing and enforceable contract of ex- j
change; (d) that the broker had not)
done all he was required to do in or-;
del' to earn his commissions; (e) that 1
the customer had failed to perform his 1
part of the contract: tendered issues
of law and not of fact.
2. Where the answer raises issues j
of law only the case is ripe for judg-,
Uient on the issues of law involved
.md a motion for judgment on the;
pleading's is properly entertained. j
3. Under an employment to sell or :
exchange the property of his principal, i
a broker has fully performed his un-1
delinking w hen he procures a custom-1
er, with whom the principal makes a i
valid contract of sale or exchange. !
i
4. In an action by a broker for com-!
mission earned by him in effecting an j
exchange of the property of his prin-1
cipai, where the complaint pleads a
valid and enforceable written con
tract between the principal and a cus
tomer procured by the broker, to ex
change property, it was not neces
sary for the complaint to allege that
the customer was "in a position and
able to convey a perfect title to the
property which he proposed to ex
change." ST In such a case the principal by
entering into a contract of exchange
C
if
with the customer produced by the
broker, accepted the customer as able,
ready and willing to make the ex
change.
6. A stipulation that "both parties
hereunto have this day deposited in
escrow with K. S. At H., this contract
and a copy of the original contract, his
demand note for $1000 as evidence of
good faith and as a forfeit in event
either party hereto fails or refuses to
comply with the terms ot the contract
as therein provided." Held to be a
penalty.
7. In an action for a broker's com
mission for effecting an exchange of
real estate where the complaint states
the making of a valid written con
tract of exchange between the princi
pal and the customer procured by the
broker, the complaint need not fur
ther state that the customer was able
ready and willing to complete the ex
change on the terms of the contract;
or that he made any effort to that end;
or the refusal of the principal to com
plete it.
8. In an action based upon a writ
ten contract which is admitted by the
answer, the ii;ention of the parties as
to what should be the effect of the
contract is to be decided by the court
upon an Inspection of the contract.
9. An allegation in the answer of
what the parties intended or did not
intend the contract should effectuate,
