Opinion:
Opinion of the Court bv
Judge Robertson:
As the petition charged that the legal title had been fraudulently conveyed to Mrs. Bragg, she was a necessary party to the suit for setting it aside. She does not appear to have been made •a party, and the decree therefore vacating her deed and subjecting the land cannot affect her title.
Wherefore the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings.
