Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Oral Contract — Agreement to Devise or Convey Land. The record examined, and held that the evidence is insufficient to supply the requisite and essential elements of a parol contract between a father and daughter for the devise or conveyance of 80 acres of land.</p> <p>2. Same — Oral Agreement to Devise Land Must Be Established by Competent and Sufficient Evidence. A provision in a will devising land pursuant to a prior parol agreement is a confirmation of such agreement, and it cannot be defeated by a subsequent revocation of the devise; but before this rule of law can be applied, it is essential that the existence of the prior parol agreement be established, by competent and sufficient evidence.</p>
