tnaG the young 10y having ATTAINED the age
when she was liable to marry, and fearing
that she might marry some one who would
squander her property, believed that it was
best that the legal title should rest in the
grandmother during her lifetime, and hence
the transfer.
The grandmother testified that she made
full explanation to Clara of the purpose for
which the deed was made, and that Clara
freely consented to the transfer, aud that at
the time the deed was executed she, her
grandmother, executed a will deyising the
properly back to the plaintiff at the grand
mothers death. The viii was introduced in
evidence, which was executed on thu 9th day
of May, 1877, the deed being acknowledged
on the same date. The Notary Public who
took the acknowledge ent of the deed was
one OF the subscribing witnesses TO the viii,
and the defendants testified that both instru-
ments were executed at the same time. The
plaintiff. however, testified that she did not
remember anything about the viii, OF any
conversation about it. She has since mar
ried.
At the conclusion of the trial tie Court
took the case uader advisement, and has now
granted tire prayer of the plaintiff and sets
the deed aside, and the granddaughter re-
sunes title and possession Of her fathers
estate.
