delivered the opinion of the court.
By the statute of frauds, the estate in this case, being created by parol, had only the force and effect of an estate at will, (1 R. C. 1855, p. 806,) which is construed to operate as a tenancy from year to year. (Kerr v. Clark, 19 Mo. 132.)
The judgment will be affirmed, with the concurrence of the other judges.
