Syllabus

<p>Contract — Vendor and vendee.</p> <p>In an action of assumpsit it appeared fhat the suit was based on a promise made by defendant to pay the plaintiff for certain lots, if the latter would convey the same to a corporation. The plaintiff signed an article of agreement with the corporation to convey thirty lots, without describing them, or specifying what lots were to be conveyed. The evidence as to the price which was to be paid by defendant was vague and indefinite, but it showed that the plaintiff never conveyed the lots to the corporation, and that at the time of the suit he was still in possession of the land. Held, that a nonsuit was properly entered.</p>
