Michigan Supreme Court June 12, 1877 (Webster v. Gray)

Campbell, J.

This bill is filed to obtain the specific performance of a parol contract made in 1866, whereby Webster was to select swamp lands and furnish descriptions of them to Gray, who had a road contract with the state on which he proposed to reserve and apply such lands; and Webster was to have an interest of one-fourth in the lands so obtained of the state.
