## Opinion text

Mayham, J.,
(concurring.) I do not think the answer in this case was such an of the terms of the contract, as alleged in the complaint, as to justify the plaintiff’s recovery upon the pleadings alone. The proof at the trial fails to show that the minds of the parties met upon the proposition as to building fence, imposed by the defendant as a condition of signing the proposed contract.
