O'Donnell v. . Carr

This is a civil action to enforce by decree of specific performance a contract to convey land. It is not contended that defendant, personally, entered into the contract, which plaintiff seeks to have thus enforced. Plaintiff contends that the contract was made, on behalf of defendant, by a real estate agent, under authority conferred upon him by defendant.
