Description
York Oil Field Supply Company, a Louisiana Corporation, sued Marrs McLean, a citizen of Texas, in the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Texas upon an account consisting of items arising under a written contract between them for the improvement by the Company with its machinery of an oil well of McLean in Texas, the balance claimed being $3,124.06. McLean denied that $3,000 was really in controversy, denied that he owed anything, and set up a counterclaim of $15,000, and it appearing in the trial that the Company had no permit to do business in Texas, he contended that it had no standing to sue under one Texas statute, and that the written contract to improve the well was illegal and void under that and another statute. The judge upheld the right to sue in the federal court and the legality of the contract and submitted the other issues to a jury which awarded the Company $1,614.06. McLean appeals, not contesting the verdict, but only the rulings of the judge on the indicated law points.
