Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Baldwin
Baldwin, J. delivered the opinion of the Court Field, C. J. concurring.
We see nothing in the amended bill to withdraw this case from the principles of our former opinion, reported in 14 Cal. The alleged trust for Joaquin seems to be nothing more than an oral direction to apply the proceeds of certain cattle, if the executors think it best, to his benefit—they having full discretion as to the fact and the time of such application. We do not see how the creditors of Joaquin can enforce this claim, which seems to be a mere matter of conscience, and not of legal obligation.
Judgment affirmed.
