Supreme Court of Alabama December 15, 1877 (Cox v. Cox)

BBICKELL, C. J.—

The bill is filed to enforce the specific performance of a verbal contract concerning lands. To support the bill, the contract must be clearly and distinctly averred, and must appear to be definite and unequivocal in all its terms; and if it is not admitted, the proofs of it must be clear and convincing.
