In Adeniran v. Olagunju (supra) @ p. 169, this Court per Amaizu JCA., had pronounced emphatically on what a memorandum of sale of land should contain inter alia thus: “A document that will satisfy the description of a note or memorandum within the meaning of the statutory provision must contain the following details: 1. Name of the parties or enough description of the parties; 2. The ample description of the subject matter of the contract 3. The consideration of the alleged contract and 4. The document must contain the signature of the party be charged or that of his agent or a representative duly authorized by him.”
READING TWO DOCUMENTS TO GET SUFFICIENT MEMORANDUM
Long v. Millar (1879) 4 CPD 450, said Russel, J., in Stokes v. Whicher (1920) 1 Ch 411, 418, comes to this; that, if you can spell out of the document a reference in it to some other transaction, you are at liberty to give evidence as to what that other transaction is, and, if that other transaction contains all the terms in writing, then you get a sufficient memorandum within the statute by reading the two together.’
