1Opinion of the Court

Per Cueiam.

The determinative issue, whether defendant agreed to pay plaintiffs for the two lots as alleged, was resolved by the jury in plaintiffs’ favor. Parol evidence was competent to show the actual consideration for the deed. Pate v. Gaitley, 183 N.C. 262, 111 S.E. 339. The statute of frauds, G.S. 22-2, does not apply to an executed contract, such as that here involved. Keith Bros. v. Kennedy, 194 N.C. 784, 140 S.E. 721; Baucom v. Bank, 203 N.C. 825, 167 S.E. 72. We find no prejudicial error in the conduct of the trial.

No error.
