H. J. McGRATH CO V. WISNER
55 A.2d 793 (1947)
NATURE OF THE CASE: McGrath (D) appealed from a judgment which ruled for Wisner (P) in
the sum of $300.
FACTS: P agreed to grow tomatoes on six acres of his farm in Baltimore County, and to
sell and deliver all the tomatoes grown thereon during the season of 1944 to the cannery of
D at a price of $28 per ton. A clause in the contract stated that if P failed to deliver to
D any part or all of the Tomatoes herein contracted for, D will sustain substantial damages,
uncertain in amount, and not readily susceptible of proof and as such P will pay to D the
sum of $300.00 as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. P did not deliver all his crop
and D deducted $300 from the balance due P. P sued for the $300. D defended in that the $300
was a setoff. P demurred and it was sustained. Evidence showed that P made $275 extra by
selling part of his crop on the open market. P got the verdict for $300 and D appealed.
