Wright, J.

1. statote OT t?át.DS' If the contract alleged is established by the evidence, it is not, in onr opinion, within the statute of frauds. That is to say, if the father furnished his proper share of the purchase-money and the land was entered by the son in his own name, under a verbal agreement to convey to the father, the agreement may be enforced in equity.
