Linwood KEMP v. Mrs. Clara KEMP, by Mrs. Lucille Morton, Next Friend.
    No. 46484.
    Supreme Court of Mississippi.
    Nov. 29, 1971.
    Barnett & Brooks, Carthage, for appellant.
    James R. Allen, J. E. Smith, Carthage, for appellee.
   GILLESPIE, Chief Justice:

There is no sound basis for this Court to hold that the Chancery Court of Leake County, Mississippi, erred in cancelling a deed executed by a 77-year-old widow, enfeebled by cerebral insufficiency, whereby she conveyed real property (reserving a life estate) of the value of $35,000.00 to her late husband’s nephew for a consideration of $10.00 and some past favors of no particular monetary value. The Chancellor’s decree is, therefore, affirmed.

Affirmed.

BRADY, PATTERSON, SMITH and SUGG, JJ., concur.
