Counsel

Ii. W. Bishop, for the plaintiff., A. J. Fargo, for the defendant, was not called upon.

Olmstead v. Mansir

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

It does not appear that the paper writing referred to in the exceptions was ever completed by the parties as a contract of sale, under which the plaintiff bought the property in question; but if it had so appeared, it seems to have been only a bill of parcels, and not such a written contract as would exclude paroi evidence of the terms of the bargain. There is, therefore, no ground for the only exception on which the plaintiff now insists.

Exceptions overruled.
