SUPREME CorRr.-Robeyt II. Ipes rs
Cha, les It. Hazard and Others bill
in equity to compel the specific perior-
nance OF a contract to convey TO the
complainant, an estate in Newport
The contract relied upon IS memo
randum written in pencil by the CON-
painant, and signed by the defendant
in which the terms OF the purchase are
briefly stated. The defendant, in his
answer, admits signing a memorandum,
bu said it was done just as he went on
board a steamboat about TO leave the
wharf the writing not being read TO
him and he having no time to read il,
and surprising it was only statement
OF the propositions previously discussed
by The parties. These he states were,
that he would sell the whole estate for
$4,000, or a part OF It at a less rate, as
he very much wished to reserve some
portion Of il, with promise that The rs.
sent OF his wife should be frs; obtained,
he expecting opposition from her to the
sale. I,appears hy the evidence that
Mr.. Hazard had been a short time pre-.
viousIy. to buy the estate Tor Mr.. Ives,
and to give $4,000 for it. Soon after,
he informed his principal that he had
bought it Tor himself, paying, it seems,
about sic 500. The properly has since
greatly risen in value, and the suit 10
strenuloasly contested. Still pending.
