Alvis Vandergrif, Respondent, v. M. E. Sweeney et al., Appellants.
    St. Louis Court of Appeals,
    March 1, 1898.
    Jurisdiction, Appellate: action involving title to real estate. An action in equity to set aside a deed of trust to land on the alleged grounds that the conveyance was obtained by fraud and that the debt had been fully paid involves the title to real estate.
    
      Appeal from the Lawrence Circuit Court. — Hon. John 0. Lamson, Judge.
   Transferred to supreme court.

Biggs, J.

The object of this suit is to set aside a deed of trust to lands for the alleged reasons that the deed was fraudulently obtained and that the debt had been fully paid. Such a suit involves title to land (Overton v. Overton, 131 Mo. 559), which deprives us of jurisdiction. The cause will be transferred to the supreme court for final determination.

All concur.
