*120AlleN, J.,
dissenting: No error is pointed put in tbe opinion of tbe Court, and I see no uncertainty in tbe verdict. Tbe amount of damages awarded by tbe jury is easily understood when considered in connection with tbe evidence, as it appears tbat tbe contract price for twenty-sevén acres of land was $7,000, and tbe opinions of tbe witnesses as to tbe value of tbe land at tbe time of tbe breach ranged from $200 to $400 per acre.
I tbink it is clear tbat tbe jury concluded tbat it would be a fair and just settlement for tbe defendant to return to tbe plaintiff tbe- amount be bad paid, and tbat tbis ought to be a settlement of tbe controversy.
