- recognizing the enforceability of a contract for the option to purchase land
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
BEATTY, C. J., dissenting.
I dissent. A dollar is not an adequate consideration for such an option as is here held to defeat the right of Mrs. Bangham to declare a homestead upon property occupied as such. It was a merely nominal consideration, and as against a right so highly and so deservedly favored as the right of homestead it should be disregarded by a court of equity.
