Gen. No. 22,214.
(Not to be reported in full.)
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Sales, § 341 * — when evidence supports verdict in action for breach of contract. In an action by the seller to recover damages for a breach of contract of sale, evidence held to support a verdict for plaintiff.
2. Sales, § 341* — what is sufficient proof of readiness of seller to deliver goods. In an action by the vendor of goods to recover damages for breach of contract, the readiness, ability and willingness of the vendor to deliver the goods is sufficiently shown where plaintiff avers in his statement of claim that he was compelled to sell it at the best market price obtainable by reason of defendant's’ breach of contract and defendants admit in their affidavit of merits that the goods were sold as alleged in the plaintiff’s statement.
Error to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Hosea W. Wells, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1916.
Affirmed.
