RE-HEARING.
1. In this State the authority to an agent to bind the principal to convey real estate is not required to be in writing and therefore, it is held that this case is not controlled by the law, as enunciated in the case of Grafton v. Cummings, 99 U.S. Rep. 100.
Petition for rehearing is denied.
