Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1886

Hillegass v. Hillegass

Hillegass v. Hillegass
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 5, 1886
2 Sadler 165; 5 A. 736; 1886 Pa. LEXIS 757

Hillegass v. Hillegass

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

We do not think that the statute of frauds is applicable to the facts of this case. No question arises as to the validity of the title sold, nor as to the form and effect of the conveyance by which it was transferred.

The contention relates to the payment of the purchase money.

The right of the plaintiff below does not rest on the contract between the vendor and vendee only; but on the super-added agreement of the vendee made with the plaintiff to pay the latter the sum in question.

The ease was correctly tried.

Judgment affirmed.
