Delphos Southard, In Equity, vs. Della J. Southard, Executrix.
    Piscataquis County.
    Decided June 8, 1911.
    
      J. 8. Williams, for plaintiff.
    
      Wm. A. Burgess, and O. W. Hayes, for defendant.
   The rescript states as follows : "Bill in equity to declare a resulting trust in favor of the plaintiff of certain real estate described in her bill. The presiding Justice who tried the cause below entered a decree that the bill be dismissed for want of equity in the plaintiff, from which decree an appeal was taken to this court. To establish a resulting trust the proof should be full, clear and convincing. After a careful examination and consideration of the evidence, in this case it is the opinion of the court that it is not sufficient to establish a resulting trust in the plaintiff’s favor.” Bill dismissed.
