Emond v. Robison

This appeal is prosecuted by the appellant W. B. Emond, from a decree against him in favor of the appellee B. C. Robison, awarding specific performance of a contract for the sale of certain real estate described in the bill. The contract of sale was verbal, but complainant was placed in possession by respondent, and paid a portion of the purchase money, thus taking the case out of the influence of the statute of frauds, and rendering the contract specifically enforceable in a court of equity. Penney v. Norton, 202 Ala. 690, 81 So. 666; Penney v. Lyle, 205 Ala. 476, 88 So. 580.
