The following excerpt is from Easton v. George Wostenholm & Son, 137 F. 524 (9th Cir. 1905):
'The general rule, established ex comitate et jure gentium, is that the place where the contract is made, and not where the action is brought, is to be considered in expounding and enforcing the contract. But this rule admits of an exception, when the parties (at the time of making the contract) had a view to a different kingdom. Robinson v. Bland, 1 W.Bl. 234, 256, 258; s.c., 2 Bur. 1077, 1078.'
