Syllabus
<p>Deeds — Delivery—Evidence—Sueeiciency. The presumption that a deed, properly executed and in the possession of the grantees, was duly delivered can only be overcome by clear and convincing proof; and such proof is not made where it appears that the grantors voluntarily surrendered the granted premises to the grantees, entered upon premises taken in exchange, and consumed personal property received in exchange, and paid an agent’s commission long after the alleged fraud in securing possession of the deed from one of the grantors while intoxicated.</p> <p>New Trial — Newly Discovered Evidence — Discretion. The discretion of the trial court in refusing a new trial for newly discovered evidence, based upon affidavits of discredited witnesses, will not be disturbed on appeal.</p>
