The scope of this clause of course depends on the wording thereof in the particular statute under discussion. Accordingly, under a statute which omits the words "any interest in or concerning" lands, an oral agreement to create an easement,1 and an oral agreement to create a mortgage,2 are not within such statute, as they are not contracts for the sale of lands, although they create some interest therein.
