[345] BATTEN against FORD.
    
      ON CERTIORARI.
    
    State of demand “for a piece of meadow ground at, &c., as per contract,” sufficient.
    The state of demand below was—
    For a piece of marsh or meadow ground, on the island called
    Shreaves Island, as per contract, 1 June, 1804, $200 00
    It then gave credit at the same time with three notes, in all, 164 40
    $36 00
    It was objected, first, that this state of demand was too uncertain; but the court thought that this was a sufficient statement of a contract of sale. It was then contended that this was a contract for the sale of land, and therefore ought to be in writing, according to the statute; but the court overruled the objection, and
    Affirmed the judgment.
