Black's Law Dictionary

A contract by which parties exchange goods or commodities for other goods. It differs from sale, in this: that in the latter transaction goods or property are always exchanged for money.

Guerreiro v. Peile, 3 Barn. & Aid. 617; Cooper v. State, 37 Ark. 418; Meyer v. Rousseau, 47 Aria 460, 2 S. W. 112.

This term is not applied to contracts con-corning land, but to such only as relate to goods and chattels. Barter is a contract by which the parties exchange goods.
