Head Matter:
Samuel D. Cubberly, appellant, v. James D. Cubberly, respondent.
When stipulations are kept out of a contract by fraud, such contract will be reformed in equity, and specifically performed.
On appeal from a decree of the chancellor, whose opinion is reported in Cubberly v. Cubberly, 6 Stew. Eq. 82.
Messrs. Robbins & Hartshorne, for appellant.
Messrs. E. L. Campbell and B. Gummere, for respondent.

Opinion:
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Beasley, C. J.'
This decree is affirmed on the ground that the stipulation upon which the equity of the respondents depends, was kept out of the written agreement by the covinous contrivance of the appellant; that such stipulation should therefore be incorporated into the contract, and that such contract thus reformed should be specifically performed.
