Head Matter:
V. C. V. SHEPHERD v. GULF REFINING COMPANY.
(Filed 21 May, 1930.)
Appeal by plaintiff from Harding, J., at November Term, 1929, of Henderson.
Civil action to enforce specific performance of an alleged contract to sell land.
There was a judgment of nonsuit, and the plaintiff appeals.
Bwbantc, Whitmire <& Weeks for plaintiff.
Kitchin & Kitchin, Galloway & Galloway and Shipman & Arledge for defendant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The nonsuit was entered on the theory that the plaintiff had failed to show a contract in writing, or any memorandum or note thereof, signed by the party to be charged therewith, or by some other person by him thereto lawfully authorized, which described the property with sufficient definiteness to admit of identification as required by C. S., 988. In this we find no error.
Affirmed.
