Syllabus

<p>Vendor and Purchaser (39, 40) — Contracts—Conditions—Provision as to Assignment. Specific performance of a contract for the sale of land will not be granted where the contract was assigned without the written consent of the vendor, contrary to its terms.</p> <p>Same (48) — Rescission by Vendor — Estoppel or Waiver. The right to rescind a contract for the sale of land, assigned without the written consent of the vendor, is not waived by failing to give any reason for refusing to deliver the deed.</p> <p>Husband and Wife (24) — Husband’s Authority to Wife’s Separate Estate. Evidence that a husband, who was a lawyer, prepared a deed and examined a title at his wife’s request, is insufficient to show that he had authority as to a sale of her separate estate that she made without consulting him.</p>
