— This cáse is not, in our judgment, distinguishable from that of Stringfellow v. ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍Ivie, 73 Ala. 209; and the decree of the chancellor must be affirmed, on the authority of that case. The land described,in the bill, and, certain described personal ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍property, were sold together, by. one contract, at a gross price, and without stating the separ*368ate value or price either of the land, or of the personal ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍property ; and this was a waiver of the vendor’s lien, indicating an intention to rely solely on the personal responsibility of the vendee. See, also, Robinson v. ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍Lehman, 72 Ala. 401; Russell v. McCormick, 45 Ala. 587.

The same case is an authority for the admission of parol evidence, to show what was the true consideration of the ‍‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍note in suit, the recital that it was given for land not being conclusive.

Affirmed.
