This morning, Judge Wylie decided to over. rule the demurrer in the case of Barron agt, Corporation of Washington, and gave his opin- joa as follows : T have come to the conclusion to overrale the | demurrer in this case, ‘Tue corporation pleads in the case that when the contract was entered into M was known to both parties that the ground belonged to the United States; that it Was & Teservation, and was ae ovens ed by the corporation for market purposes, Ko act ofc ogress was then passed, endey which i" became incumbent upon the Secretary of the Interior to take possession of this reser. vation, and the work on the contract was there- fore stopped. Mr. Barron had contracted with the corporation of Washington to build a mar- ket-house wpon the reservation, and for the purpese of deciding upon this demurrer, be muet be charged with knowing that the corp: Fation bad no right to erect & market-bo upon this reservation; he knew it belong d ta the Government; was reserved tor the papiic; and, besides that, Congress subsequently passed an act requiring. that possession should be taken, and all obstructions removed from the reservatiop, and providing ‘hat no such structure as a market-house should be laced there. Mr. Barron being thus prevented mM carrying on the work, has sued the Corpo- ration, not for work and labor done and mate- Tials furnished, because as to cuch be may poz- sibly have a right to recover; but in this action he claims to recover damages from the Corpo- Tation for net permitting him to go on and com- oa this contract, which he acknowledges by is demurrer neither he nor the tion: had a right to enter into, and which has been itively probibited by & subsequent act of mngress. In Comyns Dig, T. Covenant, (F.,) we find:' So, if there bea covenant to do a lawful thing, and afterwards by act of Parliament, the thing be prohibited, the covenant shall be defeated. Broom’s Legal ims, 182-"3, Lex non cogit impcssilnlia. “Where H. covenants not to doan act or thing which was lawful to do, and an act of Parliament comes after, and compels him to do it, the statute repeats the covenant, So, | if H. covenants todo a thing which is lawful, and an actof Parliament comes in and hinders him from doing it, the covenant is repealed.” n 2 Parsons on Contracts, pages 156-7, we id the followii “The illegality @ contract 1s, in general, a | perfect defence. It may, indeed, be regarded As an imporsibillity by act of law; and it is put on the same footing as an ber come pg Aad act of God; because it would be absurd for the law to punish a man for not doing, or, in other words, to require him todo that which it for- bids his doing” “Therefore, if one agrees to do a thing which it is lawful for him to do, and at becomes unlawful by an act of the Legisla- ture, the act avoids the promise.” “But if one agrees to do whatisat the tme unlawful, a subsequent act making the act lawful cannot give validity to the agreement, because it was void at its beginning.” Kd demurrer to the plea is, therefore, over- ruled. Binnix vs. Rutherford; appeal dismissed and judgment for plainuff. Schmidt ys. Maack; motion for new trial overruled, and appeal to General Term. Forrest vs. Moulden; bill of exceptions filed.
