GEORGE TREAT, SAMUEL L. THELLER, and JAMES L. BLAKIE v. EULOGIO F. de CELIS, Administrator of the Estate of Eulogio de Celis
By the Court, Rhodes, C. J.:
The power of attorney and the letters of the principal were not sufficient authority to the attorney in fact to bind the principal by a contract of sale of the lands in controversy. The question whether the Probate Court has jurisdiction of a proceeding to specifically enforce the performance of a contract of sale of real estate is reserved.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
Mr. Justice Crockett did not express an opinion.
