Kludt v. Connett

— The plaintiffs Kludt and Redd each filed a separate suit for the specific performance of an oral contract for the purchase of shares of the capital stock of the Lincoln Engineering Company, a corporation; Kludt demanding 8,000 shares and Redd 2,000 shares. Defendants plead the Statute of Frauds as a defense. The chancellor rendered a decree for specific performance in favor of each plaintiff; and, after separate appeals were perfected by different defendants, by stipulation all the appeals and both cases were consolidated and briefed and argued together.

No question arises on the pleadings…
