Syllabus

<p>Ejectment—Evidence— Conflicting testimony.</p> <p>In an action of ejectment by B. against H. it appeared that H. conveyed the land in controversy to D. It was agreed that H. was to retain possession until the purchase money was paid. D. failed to pay a balance of the purchase money, but agreed to reconvey the legal title when repaid the portion of purchase money paid by him. D. conveyed the land to the plaintiff, B., who was his aunt. The evidence for the defendant tended to show that the purchase money had all been repaid to D. There was also evidence that the plaintiff had declared that she would transfer the property to II. when 1). had been repaid. The evidence on both these subjects was contradicted by the plaintiff. Held, that a verdict and judgment for defendant should be sustained.</p>
