¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2The Statute of Frauds presents no obstacle to the bill, which does not seek the enforcement of a parol agreement for the sale of land, but the concellation of a conveyance which it is inequitable for the defendant to hold. There was no just objection to the bill, and the demurrer was rightly overruled. The evidence supports the decree, and it is affirmed.
