## Opinion text

McFARLAND, J.,
said:
I concur in the conclusion that this case is not within the statute of frauds. I entertain some doubt as to whether this plaintiff can maintain an action at law for want of privity of contract with the defendant, but it may be that this distinction between a *545 remedy at law or in equity ought not to be longer maintained.
