Syllabus

<p>Lands held by no other tenure than possession may be the legitimate subjects of control: and sometimes in equity, chattel interests or personal property are made the subject of specific performance.</p> <p>A contract should be enforced in every case where the subject of it is susceptible, of substantial enjoyment; provided always, that the circumstances surrounding and connected with the contract, bring it within the equitable rules which entitle it to the relief sought, and where the remedy at law is uncertain or insufficient.</p>
