Description
Rehearing denied January 20, 1958. Edmund J. Burke brought this suit in the circuit court of La Salle County against James D. Burke, William Burke, Rose Widman,
and Lillian O'Donnell, his brothers and sisters, and James D. Burke, as executor of the will of James N. Burke, the deceased
father of the parties, for specific performance of an oral agreement to devise real estate. The defendants, James D. Burke
and William Burke, individually, and James D. Burke, as executor, filed an answer and counterclaim. A decree was entered finding
in favor of the plaintiff, dismissing the counterclaim for want of equity, and ordering specific performance of the alleged
agreement, from which decree the answering defendants have appealed directly to this court. A freehold being involved, jurisdiction
of this court is properly invoked.
