Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Rhodes
By the Court, Rhodes, C. J.:
The power of attorney and the letters of the principal were not sufficient authority to the attorney in fact to bind the principal by a contract of sale of the lands in controversy. The question whether the Probate Court has jurisdiction of a proceeding to specifically enforce the performance of a contract of sale of real estate is reserved.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
Mr. Justice Crockett did not express an opinion.
