The statute of frauds in requiring contracts for the sale of or landed interests to be in writing contemplates transactions between principals and does not cover a bargain between a principal and his agent, whereby the latter is to be paid for his services in obtaining from the sale of land a certain proportion of the profits under subsequent sale,15 nor does the statute of frauds apply to an agreement made between parties as to how much each should contribute to the purchase money to be paid for the purchase of land,16 nor is an oral agreement to divide the profits on the purchase or resale of real property within the statute where the interests claimed by the defendant was by way of compensation,17 the legal principle deducible from these holdings seems to be that where the agreement relates to a division of the proceeds from the sale of land or any interest therein, it will not be within the statutes and therefore enforceable.
