Strong v. Glasgow ( 1811 )

By the Court.

This case is not influenced by the principles that decided the case of Streeter v. Jones. The plaintiffs allege here, that the defendant, contrary to the agreement he had entered into, which was to purchase the property for the complainants, took an absolute deed to himself.—The complainants were not privy to that deed, and of course are not bound by it. They are therefore at liberty to produce parol testimony to establish the original contract.
