1941Co., 40 Mont. 467 , 107 Pac. 415, 416 , the contention was made that “since the complaint alleges a joint contract with all of the defendants, and the evidence discloses a separate contract with A. Guthrie & Co. only, there is such a variance between the evidence and the cause of action alleged, that it amounts to a failure of proof.” The court approved the rule laid down in Conklin v. Fox, 3 Mont. 208 , and said: “The court held that judgment was proper against-one of the defendants who was shown to be liable, notwithstanding * * * that others had been made defendants who were not liable.” A

1938Assn., 198 Iowa, 1038 , 200 N. W. 694 , the court approved an instruction that the measure of recovery was the difference in value of the building before and after the fire, but in no event in excess of the cost of restoration, making proper allowance for deductions and for deterioration, the court approving the verdict for more than the full amount of the cost of restoration, explaining that some additional repairs were perhaps necessary.

1933Instruction No. 9 advised the jury that it was not incumbent upon the plaintiff to prove all of the acts of negligence alleged in the complaint to entitle him to a verdict; but, if the evidence introduced was such as to satisfy it by a preponderance of all of the evidence that one or more of said acts of negligence so alleged proximately caused the injury, the verdict should be for the plaintiff, This court approved this principle in the case of Smith v. Bonner, 63 Mont. 571 , 208 Pac. 603 , and see cases therein cited.

They are put on guard "only when they have notice of conduct or language on

1922Co. et al., supra, this court approved the rule stated in 27 Cyc. 972, as follows: “ £If the grantor was severely pressed for money at the time of the transfer, so as not to be able to exercise a perfectly free choice as to the disposition of his property, and raised the sum needed by conveying the property in fee with a right of repurchase, his necessitous condition, especially in connection with the inadequacy of the price, will go far to show that a mortgage was intended.’ And again, at page 1014: ‘If the grantor in a deed absolute in form, but alleged to have been intended as a security, w

1897“Such a statute,” said Judge Knowles in Black v. Appolonio , ‘should be strictly pursued, while it should be liberally construed. ’ ’ See, also, to like effect, Smith v. Mining Co., 12 Mont. 524 , 31 Pac. 72 .

1897We are of opinion that this cannot be done, especially in a case like this, where the honest mistake of the petitioner has not in any way misled or injured the respondents.” The opinions of this court since the decision in Black v. Appolonio, 1 Mont. 342 , have been in line with the approved rule which treats the mechanic’s lien statute as remedial.
