Supreme Court of New Jersey June 15, 1868 (Birckhead v. Cummins)

Beasley, Chief Justice.

One of the important questions arising in this case, on the points reserved is, whether a lease by parol, for a term less than three years, can be enforced between the parties, in case the lessee has failed to enter on the premises demised. The subject belongs to the proper exposition of the statute of frauds.
