[ Sec. 79 the effect that if an estate is created by a written instrument, evidence of an oral condition subsequent cannot be introduced, as this would involve a violation of the "parol evidence rule," so called.4 An oral condition precedent appears to stand differently in this regard from an oral condition subsequent. It is generally recognized that, even though the parties to a transaction have incorporated their agreement in a writing, it may be shown orally that the writing is not to be effective until the happening of a certain contingency.5 And the application of this principle to the case of a lease or other conveyance of land,6 would result in effect in the establishment by oral evidence of a condition precedent to the passing of an estate by force of a written instrument.
