Appeal from Isabella; Hart (Ray), J. Submitted January 15, 1932. (Docket No. 166, Calendar No. 36,245.) Decided April 6, 1932.
Bill by Peter Flood against Edmund E. Johnston to cancel an agreement to execute an oil and gas lease. Decree for plaintiff. Defendant appeals. Affirmed.
Gerald J. Cotter, James E. Ryan, and Virgil McClintic, for plaintiff.
O'Keefe O'Keefe, for defendant.
The contract which plaintiff here seeks to have canceled and declared null and void is similar in all respects to that entered into between Mary Fetters and Johnston in Fetters v. Wittmer Oil Gas Properties, ante, 310. In that case it was held to be void as against public policy. The decree of the trial court holding it to be null and void in this case is affirmed, with costs to appellee.
CLARK, C.J., and McDONALD, POTTER, NORTH, FEAD, WIEST, and BUTZEL, JJ., concurred.
