Lott, J. I concur.
It is a settled rule, that if part of an entire contract be void under the statute of frauds, the whole is void. (See Van Alstine v. Whipple, 5 Cowen, 162, particularly p. 164, cited within.) I think, too, that the principle asserted by Chancellor Walworth in McWhorter v. McMahan, (10 Paige, 393,) establishes that this agree-cannot be enforced. Miss Heefus, it is found, never executed or authorized the execution of the agreement.
Tappen, J. also concurred..
J. F. Barnard, J. dissented.
Hew trial granted.
