 Dissenting Opinion. ST. PAUL, J. I dissent on the ground that the defense sets up a new contract, and, therefore, carries the burden of proof; that it has not discharged this burden by a preponderance of evidence, nor by a sufficiency of evidence, even were there no conflict of testimony. Civil Code, 2277.
