LAMM, J.
Plaintiff lodged a bill in equity in the Platte Circuit Court to enforce specific performance of an alleged contract of purchase of 1.97 acres of land (more or less) being part of the southwest quarter of section 12, township 54, range 37, in Platte county, described in the bill with particularity in *477courses, distances and monuments. This parcel of land will hereinafter he referred to as “Tract A.” On a hearing, nisi, plaintiff’s amended hill was dismissed. Thereupon, he appeals to this court.
Attending to the pleadings, the amended bill proceeds on the theory that defendant Mary A. 0. Pease was the owner in her own exclusive and separate right of Tract A, an irregular parcel of land on the shores of Bean Lake, a body of water in said Platte county (the description of Tract A, being diffuse, and technical, need not be set forth, but appears correctly in plaintiff’s amended bill); that her codefendant, Charles S. Pease, is her husband; that there was excepted out of Tract A a certain indefinite right described in the bill as “a right to use, occupy and enjoy a water front along the water line on the east side of Bean Lake as conveyed by "William Osborne to John Savage by deed recorded in book 21, page 278, of 'the records in the recorder’s office of Platte county;” that said Mary was the granddaughter of Colonel William Osborne and that during her coverture Colonel Osborne conveyed Tract A, together with a very large body of land, to Mary by a deed of April 6,1894, duly of record; that said deed was a gift of inheritance in lieu of a devise by will; that defendant W. 0. Park was Mary’s duly accredited agent, authorized in writing, “to look after, rent, care for, sell and otherwise attend to Tract A” and said larger body of land; that on February 26, 1898, through said Park as agent, in consideration of $200, she sold said Tract A to plaintiff and delivered possession thereof to him, and he thereupon made valuable improvements; that a deed to Tract A was made by Park, but the same was insufficient to convey the legal title to plaintiff, but that Park, as agent, transmitted the consideration to his principal, Mary, which was by her received with full knowledge that it was the purchase price of'Tract A and she thereupon ratified and confirmed the act of *478her agent in the premises; that Mary’s husband, in all said things concerning the sale of Tract A and the ratification thereof, co-operated with her; that plaintiff under said sale, payment of the purchase money, conveyance and delivery of possession, together with the acquiescence of Mary, had rested in the belief that he had a sufficient deed for Tract A, but that a short time before the bringing of this suit defendant Park retired from the said agency and plaintiff was then informed by Mary’s new agent (one Petty or Peddie) that Mary’s deed was invalid; that thereupon plaintiff was advised by counsel that Petty’s contention was true, and plaintiff thereupon applied to Mary for a sufficient deed to rectify the errors in her former conveyance, which, however bad in law, was alleged to be binding in equity and good conscience as a written contract to convey, but that Mary refused to make a sufficient deed, and thereafter, in March, 1900, sold Tract A with other land to her codefendants Rees and Rose, who (in turn) in April of that year, conveyed the same to her codefendant Meyers; that said Rees, Rose and Meyers,-collectively and severally, having received their said deeds with full knowledge of plaintiff’s equities and claims, are bound thereby. Wherefore, plaintiff prayed a decree adjudicating that Rose, Rees and Meyers took their respective deeds subject to plaintiff’s equities; and that said conveyances he held void as to Tract A; and for specific performance and for all proper general relief.
Defendant Park failed to answer, and it is: not clear why he was made a party.
Defendants Rees, Rose and Meyers were brought into the case by an amended bill — their deeds having been executed after the original bill was filed.
Mary A. 0. Pease answered by way of general denial. Further she specifically denied that her codefendant Park had any authority in writing to sell Tract A or any other land for her; and she avers that *479Parle sent her $200, but falsely pretended he had sold some land, but not the land described in the petition; that thereupon she declined to accept said sum and “immediately after receiving it, she tendered it with interest thereon, if any, to plaintiff,” who refused to accept it; that when this suit was instituted, she renewed her tender and brought said money and interest into court for him.
Defendants Charles S. Pease, Rees, Rose and Meyers answered tendering the general issue, except said Pease admits being the husband of Mary.
The reply denied new matter and reaffirmed the allegations of plaintiff’s amended bill that Mary accepted the consideration with full knowledge of all the facts relating to the purchase and kept the same until the institution of this suit, to-wit: for about two years, during which time plaintiff in good faith made valuable improvements on Tract A, because of all which, plaintiff says, Mary is estopped to allege a want of a written contract.
A surveyor’s map used at the trial will serve in understanding the facts. The tract marked on that map, “W. H. Kirkpatrick,” bisected by a line showing the shore line of Bean Lake in 1840' (as we grasp it) is Tract A. In Tract A and north of the platted road • and some distance away from the present water line of Bean Lake is the “boathouse,” which figures extensively in the trial. Farther to the east and across a wheat field is a tract marked, “Annie Stephens,” which also figured at the trial and will hereafter be designated as “Tract B” — the privilege for said boathouse being appurtenant to Tract B.
Said map was produced in this court as a blue print, and is as follows:
*480
*481Questions raised on appeal group themselves into the following:
First, was there a binding contract made between plaintiff and Mary A. 0. Pease?
Second, if there was any infirmity in the authority of Park to make the contract, was there such ratification by Mrs. Pease as relates back and binds her?
Third, if a contract was made, or ratified, was it so definite and certain as to be susceptible of specific enforcement?
Fourth, did Mary A. 0. Pease own Tract A, i. e., was her title such as made the contract, if one was made or ratified, susceptible of specific performance?
Fifth, did defendants Rees and Rose purchase with notice of plaintiff’s equities, if any? And does defendant Meyers now hold under a conveyance subject to such equities?
Sixth, specific performance being directed to1 the sound discretion of the chancellor, should it be withheld in this case?
The facts essential to the consideration of these questions will appear in the opinion.
* I. The first and second questions may be considered together. Attending to them paintiff’s learned counsel concede there was no valid conveyance by Mrs. Pease to plaintiff, but they contend there was written authority from Mrs. Pease authorizing Park to make a contract; and, further, that the legal effect of what was done by him. was to make such contract and they rely on ratification. Defendant’s learned counsel argue contra. The facts uncovered below on these phases of the case are contained in a long record and cover many writings and matters of detail. Summarized, they are as follows: Park was a banker in Atchison, Kansas, and a relative of Mary. A. 0. Pease. Bean Lake lies on this side of the Missouri river and southeast of Atchison, in Platte county in this State. *482Some four years prior to 1898, Mrs. Pease became tbe owner of about 516 acres of land adjacent to Bean Lake and some of it washed by its waters. Her conveyance was made to her by her grandfather, Colonel William Osborne, a widower residing at Watertown in the county of Oneida, State of New York, as a gift of inheritance. Colonel Osborne (now dead) reserved to himself the income and profits arising from these lands during his natural life. The lands so conveyed included Tract A, but in fact the grant (as appears aliunde) was subject to a prior conveyance of Tract B and a certain boathouse permit on Bean Lake; all of which will appear presently. The Peases lived at Upper Montclair in New Jersey; and it is conceded on all sides that during the years 1897 and 1898 Park held a written power of attorney authorizing him to represent Mrs. Pease in the renting and caring for all said real estate. The terms of this power of attorney are such that it is agreed they did not include a power of sale. Under that power Park became her general agent to make improvements, farm or lease the land, collect rents, pay taxes, etc., and was to have all the income in excess of $700'. If the revenue of the farm fell below $700; Park was to have nothing. If they went over $1000; Mrs. Pease was to have two-thirds of such excess. By a supplemental and later agreement the recompense of Park as agent was placed at the fixed sum of $12.50' per month; and he agreed to perform the duties of agent and of farm overseer or superintendent, subject to the approval of the owner. In 1897 plaintiff lived on an island in Bean Lake close to Tract A on the shore. We infer he had resided there for many years, kept a fishing and bathing resort there and, under some undisclosed arrangement, had stables and a feed lot, possibly for his own stock, but certainly for the horses of those who came to his resort to bathe and fish, which stables and feed lot covered a part of Tract A and were accessible from his island. .The water of Bean Lake had *483permanently receded from its ancient bank, leaving tbe old bank as a bench and serviceable as a shelter for stock; and Kirkpatrick late in 1897 opened negotiations with Park for the purchase of Tract A, and Park, commenced a correspondence with bis principal, Mrs. Pease, anent that sale. Many letters passed backward and forward, some of them written by defendant Charles S. Pease; but Mrs. Pease read such before they were sent, they expressed her desires and went at her request. During the run of this correspondence, the Peases asked for a description of the tract Kirkpatrick desired to buy. Thereupon Park, on October 17, 1897, enclosed a rough freehand plat, which was put in evidence and a blue print thereof was produced here, as follows:
*484
*485Having sent said diagram, Park •with, substantial accuracy entered into a detailed explanation of tbe shores of the lake, the purposes for which Kirkpatrick wanted the tract, the probable shape of the tract, itself and the environment. He recommended the sale and suggested the purchase money was needed in improvements. In reply to this letter Mr. Pease wrote in behalf of his wife and under her instructions. The letter seems to be lost and Mrs. Pease, in testifying of its contents, says: “My recollection of its substance is that I instructed Mr. Park to go ahead with the matter if it was all right.” Park says of this letter that “she instructed me to make a sale at not less than $40 per acre.” It seems the Peases up to this time were not advised of any boathouse permit or any other claims outstanding against Tract A, as will presently be seen; such permit (if existing) originated in a grant by Col. Osborne made prior to his deed to Mrs. Pease. It seems that Park at the beginning was uninformed in that particular. We infer, too, that Mr. Kirkpatrick knew nothing of the character -and origin of. any adverse claims; but he must have known the boathouse was there. We might as well say now that the record contains unmistakable evidence establishing to our satisfaction that Park acted throughout with a zealous fidelity to the interests of his relative, Mrs. Pease. On the authority of the foregoing correspondence with his principal, Park informed Kirkpatrick he had authority from the Peases to sell him two acres, together with water rights, for $200 cash, giving him a 'dear title to the same. Presently Mr. Kirkpatrick went to Atchison and turned over to Park his check for the $200 purchase price. Presently, by correspondence with Kirkpatrick, Park arranged to have a survey'made, which was done, and the exact description of Tract A was ascertained. Then a deed was drawn and signed by Park as agent for Mrs. Pease; it was in warranty form, described Tract A, and granted all appurtenant ripar*486ian and fishing rights to the lake front, excepting from the grant, ‘ ‘ a concession of 40 feet of water front next north of the county road to the K. O'. Club for a boathouse.” This, deed was not acknowledged, but was finally delivered and thereafter was duly placed of record on the 11th day of April, 1898, in the proper office in Platte county. It seems this so-called deed was not delivered at once, that Park had become aware of the boathouse on Tract A, and that it was used by a Mr. J. T. Stephens, the husband of the owner of Tract B. So Park wrote to Mr. Pease so early as January 12, 1898, referring to his (Park’s) authority to sell two acres on the shore of the lake and informing him that he had sold it at double the price he was authorized to take, to-wit: $200, but that he had not completed the transfer owing to the presence of a boathouse which must be removed before Kirkpatrick would take it, that the money was in the bank and the deed was made out and he hoped soon to have the land clear. Following that letter he wrote Mrs. Pease on February 14th, telling her that the Kirkpatrick sale still hung fire, that the hitch was over the occupation of a portion of Tract A by one Stephens in violation, or in excess of, his (Stephens’) water front privileges, that he hoped for a speedy settlement and would remit the proceeds of the sale as soon as collected. It was in evidence that Park sent Mrs. Pease a copy of the deed he proposed making to Kirkpatrick. Subsequently, on his own initiative, he wrote her the details of a trouble he was having with Stephens, that Stephens had tried to buy Tract A after Kirkpatrick had paid the money. He told her that Stephens had the privilege of building and using- a boathouse over the. water for forty feet north of the road,1 and that he' (Stephens) had construed that into a right to build his house back on the shore forty feet and run a fence around it. It seems that Mr. Park got into a personal altercation with Stephens and he wrote the particulars of that to Mrs. Pease. He *487asked her advice about an injunction and writ of ejectment and told her that he had given Kirkpatrick a warranty deed to the land, but the latter did not want to mix up in a row with Stephens. He explained to Mrs. Pease that her grandfather had sold some land, to-wit: Tract B, to a Mr. Savage for a sportsman’s club, together with a certain water privilege; that Tract B had passed into the possession of Stephens, who had built a boathouse and a pen back on the shore of the lake and had fenced them in. He asked whether he should remit the proceeds of the sale, or wait until the matter was ended. He forwarded her a certified copy of the original deed from her grandfather, Osborne, to Savage, under which Stephens claims the boathouse privilege, and asked her to. return it for use in any further proceedings. Mrs. Pease testified that she answered this letter and instructed Mr. Park to employ legal means to eject Stephens from the land. It will not be necessary to further follow this correspondence, which covered several months. We find therefrom that Park fully notified Mrs. Pease of the situation of things. We find that armed with this information she, by letter, ordered the proceeds of the sale sent to her. They were sent by draft. She accepted them with a substantial knowledge of all the facts, and the draft passed through the usual banking channels and was in evidence bearing her indorsement. These proceeds she kept for nearly two years and until she was made to believe that the transaction was inimical to her interests. After the receipt of the purchase money, she instructed Park that legal steps be taken to drive Stephens off the land. Attorneys were hired and their fees paid by Mrs. Pease and such steps taken. In March, 1899 (a year later), Park was ordered to suspend all legal action until further notice. Following that, in May or June, 1899', Mrs. Pease employed a new agent, Alexander Peddie, of Emmetsburg, Iowa. Mr. Peddie came upon the ground, studied the *488situation and made a report to Mrs. Pease. Influenced by this report, the Peases changed their minds and instructed. Peddie to tender back to Kirkpatrick the purchase money of Tract A, which was done in January, 1900, and Peddie asked Kirkpatrick to quitclaim. Kirkpatrick refused the tender and refused to make the deed. After this tender and after Kirkpatrick was informed by Peddie that his deed was not valid, Kirkpatrick complained to Park and Park wrote Mrs. Pease, going over the whole controversy and refreshing her mind in certain particulars, telling her that he had made the sale and that she had confirmed it, that a suit was threatened by Kirkpatrick but that he had prevailed upon Kirkpatrick’s lawyers to wait a little longer as the trouble was through a misunderstanding. He forwarded her a deed to execute to Kirkpatrick, or, if she preferred, she could send him (Park) a power of attorney dated back to the date of the original deed. Mrs. Pease ignored this letter. Thereupon suit was brought, and following that the Peases (through Peddie) sold 54 acres of land, including Tract A, to defendants Rees and Rose; and Rees and Rose in turn conveyed to defendant Meyers, subject to an exception in both deeds, viz: “Excepting water front privilege described in deed of William Osborne to John Savage, dated April 4, 1891, which deed is recorded in book 21, page 278, of Platte county, Missouri, records.”
The record shows that in March, 1898, Kirkpatrick was put in possession of Tract A by Park, except of the boathouse and a small inclosure there, and Mrs. Pease knew of this, that he substantially fenced it and built stabling thereon, and, barring the boathouse, was in possession at the date of the trial.
The foregoing record justifies the following observations :
(a) It will be seen that the original authority in Park to sell to Kirkpatrick is traced back to a letter. This letter was not signed by Mrs. Pease, but by her *489husband. She advised with her husband about the letter, she read its contents, and testified it went with her approval.
Section 3418, Revised Statutes 1899, reads: “No action shall be brought .... upon any contract made for the sale of lands .... unless the agreement upon which the action shall be brought, or some memorandum or note thereof, shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith, or some other person by him thereto lawfully authorized, and no contract for the sale of lands made by an agent shall be binding upon the principal, unless such agent is authorized in writing to make said contract. ’ ’ Now, Charles S. Pease held no written authority from Mary; hence, authority from him to Park to sell Mary’s land was not authority in writing from Mary. So’ that, conceding an agent could be clothed with authority by letter, and conceding, moreover, that authority might be spelled out of several letters in a correspondence (Peycke Bros. v. Ahrens, 98 Mo. App. 456, and authorities cited), yet the facts at bar bring this case within the mischief struck at by the foregoing statute, and we cannot hold that Park originally had lawful authority to sell the land of Mary Pease to Kirkpatrick. And this is so, although Park acted in good faith, undér a misapprehension of his power.
A case might arise where there was an infirm power based on authority such as the foregoing, where, with the knowledge and acquiescence of the owner of the land, improvements were made by the purchaser and he so materially changed his situation that an equitable estoppel would be created, and an owner who had refused to speak “when in conscience he should have spoken,” would not be allowed to speak, “when in conscience he ought not” to deny written authority. But the facts in this case do not warrant the application of any such doctrine.
(b) Notwithstanding Mrs. Pease gave no written *490authority to Park to make a contract to sell Tract A, yet fairly construing the correspondence between her and Park, giving weight to the knowledge she had that Park was acting as her agent in selling Tract A and had made a deed therefor in her name (she thereafter accepting the full purchase price), considering', too, the information given to her with a copy of the deed in hand, she ought not to be allowed in writing to order the proceeds turned over to her and to put the same in her pocket, without such acts, based on such knowledge, being taken and deemed a ratification of Park’s acts.
A married woman, as our statutes now run, is clothed with the right to sell lands held by her in her own' separate right as her own separate property. [Farmers Exchange Bank v. Hageluken, 165 Mo. 443; R. S. 1899, secs. 4335, 4340.] She may make a deed thereto as a feme sole; hence, she may give authority to an agent to contract a sale, and it follows that she may ratify the act of her agent. The ratification of an act, done by one assuming to be an agent, relates back, and is equivalent to a prior authority. [Story on Agency (9 Ed.), sec. 242; Despatch Line of Packets v. Bellamy Man. Co., 12 N. H. l. c. 232.] The authority to contract a sale of real estate must be in writing; therefore (it is held), the ratification must be in writing, where ratification is relied on to make a binding contract. [Hawkins v. McGroarty, 110 Mo. 546; Mechem on Agency, sec. 136; Johnson v. Fecht, 185 Mo. l. c. 345, et seq.]
No one (sui juris) may, with full knowledge of the facts, receive and appropriate to his own use without objection the purchase price of land, sold by one assuming to act in his behalf as Ms agent, as Mrs. Pease did here, without such receipt and appropriation amounting to a ratification. [Mechem on Agency, sec. 149, and cases cited in note 2.] And, having once ratified the act, it is axiomatic that such ratification may not be recalled. .
*491II. "Was the contract so definite and certain as to be susceptible of specific enforcement? "We think so. Tract A is described with particularity in the infirm deed,-signed by Park for Mrs. Pease; the parties are set forth, and the price to be paid. The terms of the contract evidently were cash in hand; and no reason appears why the contract was not so definite and certain in its terms as to be susceptible of specific performance.
III. Did Mrs. Pease own Tract A — i. e., was her title such as made the ratified contract susceptible of specific performance ? In considering this question regard must be had to certain record facts to be presently uncovered, to-wit: In 1891, some three years prior to his conveyance to Mrs. Pease, Colonel Osborne conveyed Tract B to one John Savage. It is assumed in the record that this conveyance was made to Savage to aid in establishing a sportsmen’s club at Bean Lake. After describing Tract B by metes and bounds, the deed proceeds thus: “Together with the water front privileges appurtenant thereto.” As Tract B lies on the far side of a wheat field from Bean Lake, it is not plain to either a landsman or a waterman, from the naked grant without evidence aliunde, what “the water front privileges appurtenant thereto” may be. But the Savage’deed did not stop there; it goes on thus: “Also, the right to perpetually use, occupy and enjoy a water front along the water line on the east side of Bean Lake, immediately north of the county road, along the south liné of said section twelve for the construction of a boathouse over the water of said lake, of the length of forty feet along said water line.”
The privilege aforesaid will be hereafter referred to as “Permit C.” Presently thereafter, Savage conveyed Tract B to the “Bean Lake Pishing & Hunting Club,” and this conveyance included Permit C. In 1894 the Bean Lake Pishing & Hunting Club (which seems to have been known locally as a Kansas City *492Club) conveyed Tract B to secure a note signed by J. T. Stephens for $400', due in twelve months. The conveyance was a deed of trust in the nature of a mortgage and did not purport to convey the privileges set forth in Permit C. Presently the trustee sold the premises under the foregoing deed of trust to Annie E. Stephens, the present owner; and the trustee’s deed conveyed Tract B, but did not include the privileges set forth in Permit C. We infer that the Stephens referred to in the record as J. T. Stephens, is the maker of said note and the husband of Annie E., and that he is the party who, claiming under the trustee’s deed to his wife, the Savage deed and the aforesaid mesne conveyances, is occupying the boathouse on Tract A.
On such record hinges the contention of defendants that Mrs. Pease cannot make a valid conveyance to Tract A, and, therefore, whatever remedy Kirkpatrick may have, he cannot enforce specific performance.
But without deciding whether a vendee might not be entitled to part performance with satisfaction in damages for the part not performed, yet it is sufficient to say of this contention for the purposes of this case that it proceeds upon a misapprehension. If we hold that the unacknowledged deed executed by Park for Mrs. Pease is not good as a conveyance, which we do, yet if said abortive deed is good in equity as a contract to convey, which we also hold — then it will be seen that there was an exception reserved in the contract and that Kirkpatrick agreed to take title subject to “a concession of forty feet of water front next north of the county road to the K. C. Club for a boat-, house.” This is self-evidently the same concession granted in Colonel Osborne’s deed to Savage and in Savage’s deed to the Bean Lake Fishing & Hunting Club, to-wit: Permit C — subject to which Mrs. Pease (holding under a subsequent deed) took title. It is, furthermore, the same exception contained in the Peases’ deed to Rees and Rose, and in their deed to *493Meyers. So that, we are not called upon to pass, upon ^Stephens’ right under the trustee’s deed to enjoy the privileges of Permit 0. Whether that right is existent ought not to he determined in this case — Mrs. Stephens and her husband not being parties; nor does the case call for such determination, because, if the Stephens are entitled to the boathouse privileges of Permit C, then, under his contract, Kirkpatrick takes title subject to that privilege; and as the Peases conveyed Tract A with other land to Rees and Rose, subject to that privilege, no good reason is seen why they might not have conveyed Tract A to Kirkpatrick subject to the same privilege — consistency being a jewel, and inconsistency not. We see no insuperable obstacle to specific performance on this score.
. TY. Plaintiff’s counsel insist that Rees, Rose and Meyers took a title burdened with notice of plaintiff’s rights. This is so. In fact, defendants’ learned counsel do not argue that Rees, Rose and Meyers were not put upon inquiry and had no notice. They admit notice, but they say inquiry and notice amount to nothing unless plaintiff’s claims were substantial and enforceable in equity. They say (in substance) that plaintiff’s rights have no substance, that plaintiff has no standing in court, and, therefore, they bought with indifference and impunity, relying on 'the court’s brushing aside any apparent interest in plaintiff. But, as we have seen, they were mistaken in this and {ergo) must be held to take title subject to plaintiff’s equitable right to' specific perfomance, unless specific performance should be denied on a ground now to be considered.
Y. Finally, we are asked to sustain the judgment because specific performance is not a matter of absolute right, but rests in the discretion of the chancellor. In a sense specific performance does rest in the discretion of the chancellor. But discretion does not mean *494caprice. A discretion measured by a capriciously elastic yardstick would present a false measure of 'equitable right. This discretion is spoken of in the books as a sound discretion — sound, meaning judicial. The right doctrine is elegantly put by Wagner, J., thus: “A bill for the specific performance of a contract is not granted as. a matter of right by the court to which it is addressed, but from a just and reasonable discretion. But this discretion is not to be exercised in an arbitrary or capricious manner, but is to be governed by sound legal rules and principles. If, upon a whole view of the facts and circumstances, the court shall be of the opinion that the contract is fair, just and. equitable, it will use its extraordinary authority and decree specific performance; but, if, on the contrary, it appears inequitable and unjust, the remedy will be denied and the party left to his action at law.” [Ivory v. Murphy, 36 Mo. l. c. 542.]
Courts of justice sit to enforce the law. Now, the law may be said to be a general rule of action — a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in a State. A contract is but a rule of action binding upon the parties thereto — i. e., a contract is but a law unto the parties thereto. Therefore, courts sit to enforce contracts — not to. abrogate them. [Evans v. Evans, 196 Mo. l. c. 23; Kilpatrick v. Wiley, 197 Mo. l. c. 172.] If (for instance) the bargain in this instance was over-keen and unjust, or if the party against whom specific, performance was sought was laboring under some disability and had been overreached, then (or in similar cases) there would be something for the discretion of the chancellor to take hold of — something binding his conscience. But, absent any earmarks of unfairness, overreaching or overkeenness (as here) and present a fair, just real estate contract (as here), to deny specific performance is to wound and vex the soul of equity itself.
In our opinion the judgment, nisi, was for the *495wrong party. That judgment is, accordingly, reversed and the cause remanded with directions to the chancellor to set aside the judgment dismissing plaintiff’s amended hill and to enter a decree for specific performance in favor of plaintiff, divesting the legal title to tract A (describing it) out of the defendants Meyers, Rees, Rose, and the Peases, and each and every of them, and vesting it in plaintiff.
All concur, except Woodson, Jnot sitting.
