Mrs. Alsop died in September 1911.
before the house was built and the
administrator of the estate sought TO
annul the contract Campbell took
the case to court and the court ruled
against Campbell The administrator
claimed that Campbell's delay in build
ing the house was evidence that he
didn't intend ia carry out his con-
tract. while Campbell contends that
his aunt approved Of his course: that
he was financially and otherwise able
to carry out his contract and the fact
that the house had not yet been built
was not due to his default He asks
a writ of error on the ground that
the court below set aside valid con-
tract between two competent con-
tracing parties.
