Grice, Justice,
dissenting. I respectfully dissent from the majority, but I do not concur in all that is said in the dissenting opinion of the Chief Justice. My own views may be stated briefly. First, the description of the property in the contract sought to be established fails to comply with the rule that, in order to authorize specific performance, such description must be pleaded so clearly, strongly, and satisfactorily as to leave no reasonable doubt as to the subject matter. Second, the method by which the pleader seeks to establish such contract manifestly violates the parol evidence rule and thus does violence to what the parties themselves had agreed upon in writing. I would reverse the judgment.
