        "text": "Fueches, O. J.\nThe only question involved in this appeal is the admission of evidence of the defendant under section 590 of The Code.\nThe action is by the administratrix of Alexander Badham., to- recover the value of improvements put upon a lot belonging to the defendant, under a parol promise to- convey the same to her intestate. Eor the purpose of establishing the parol promise, the plaintiff had introduced several witnesses, but had not been a witness herself, nor had she offered the evidence of her intestate.\nThe defendant was then introduced in his own behalf and \u201cwas asked if he, at any time during the life of Alex. Bad-ham (intestate), promised him to convey the land described in ihe'complaint, if he would go on it and improve it. Plaintiff objected. The Court sustained the objection, but permitted the witness to be asked concerning any promise made to his deceased son, as testified to under objection of defendant by plaintiff\u2019s witnesses.\n\u201cThe witness Hannibal Badham (defendant) them testified that he had never made any such statements or promises to his son as was testified to by the plaintiff\u2019s witnesses. To the admission of this evidence the plaintiff excepted.\u201d\nWe are of the opinion that there was error in admitting the evidence objected to, and sustain the plaintiff\u2019s exception. Sumner v. Candler, 92 N. C., 634; Bunn v. Todd, 107 N. C., 266.\nThe case of Gilmore v. Gilmore, 86 N. C., 301, principally relied upon by defendant, does not involve section 590 of The Code, and is not in point.\nNew trial.",
