  PERFORMANCE. The act of doing something; the thing done is also called a

  its performance. 
       2. When it contract has been made by parol, which, under the statute of

  and the party seeking to avoid it, has received the whole or a part 
  performance of such agreement, he cannot afterwards avoid it; 14 John. 15; 
  S. C. 1 John. Ch. R. 273; and such part performance will enable the other 
  party to prove it aliunde. 1 Pet. C. C. R. 380; 1 Rand. R. 165; 1 Blackf. R.
