Tbe vendee waives rights under a contract to purchase land, where, on being notified that vendors could not obtain and convey the whole title, he proposed to purchase the vendors’ interest at a price to be agreed upon and himself negotiate for the balance of the title.</p> <p>Frauds, Statute op — Sale op Land — Possession. Possession does not take án oral sale of land out of the operation of the statute of frauds, where it was not referable to, or in execution of, the contract, but was without the consent of the vendor or after he had repudiated the sale or taken possession himself.</p> <p>Same. Permitting another to cut wood on the land is not the taking of such possession by the vendee as to take an oral sale out of the statute of frauds.</p>
