of section 3, township IT, range west, situat
ed on Cedar river, in the county and territory
aforesaid, giving for the same hundred dol
lars in money and an old clock. The bill fur
ther charges, that the defendants for the pur.
pose of dcfrauding and overreaching complain

be considered the sole purchaser of Click, and
that sham sale should be made from Demon
to Vanpclt of the same piece of Land, for the
advanced sum of $3.50. That the defendant,
Vanpelt, then returned to Indiana, and repre-
