Stacy, C. J.

The nonsuit is correct on two grounds: First, ‍‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍it appears that the alleged parol agreement is in conflict with the written contract to convey (Ins. Co. ‍‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍v. Morehead, ante, 174) ; and, second, the contract to convey is not enforceable as against purchasers for ‍‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍value who hold prior registered title. C. S., 3309; Combes v. Adams, 150 N. C., 64, 63 S. E., ‍‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍186; Hood, Comr., v. Macclesfield Co., ante, 280.

This is the only question presented by the appeal.

Affirmed.

Devin, J., took no ‍‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‍part in the consideration or decision of this case.
