CourtKentucky Court of Appeals

Appeal from Circuit Court, Fulton County.

Action by the Dahnke-Walker Milling Company against C. T. Bondurant. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.

Robbins & Robbins, of Mayfield, for appellant.

W. J. Webb, of Mayfield, and B. T. Davis, of Hickman, for appellee.

CLARKE, J.

This is an action by the Dahnke-Walker Milling Company against C. T. Bondurant to recover damages for a breach of contract. Upon a former appeal of the case a judgment in favor of the plaintiff was reversed, upon the ground that the contract was unenforceable by the plaintiff, a foreign corporation, because of its failure to comply with section 571 of Kentucky Statutes, and the cause was remanded for a new trial, with directions to direct a verdict for defendant if the evidence should be the same as on the first trial. See Bondurant v. Dahnke-Walker Milling Co., 175 Ky. 774, 195 S.W. 139.

The evidence being the same upon the second trial as upon the first, the trial court, in obedience to the mandate of this court, directed a verdict for the defendant and dismissed the petition, from which judgment the plaintiff has prosecuted this appeal.

Since no question of either fact or law, not decided by our former opinion in this case, is presented by this appeal, and the judgment now appealed from was rendered in obedience to our mandate and in conformity with our view of the law, as fully set forth in that opinion, reported in 175 Ky. 774, 195 S.W. 139, and to which we adhere, it is obvious that the judgment must be, and it is, affirmed.
