Syllabus

<p>Cancellation of Instruments — Deeds—Principal and Agent— Fraud of Agent. A quitclaim deed made to an agent for a small sum, will be cancelled for fraud and violation of the agent’s trust, where it was obtained from the principal, a woman with little knowledge of business or real estate titles, upon representations by the agent that the land had been sold under tax judgments and that her interest had been devested, when she had an interest in part of the property, and the agent knew that the tax judgment, which was set aside on his motion, was void as a matter of law.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Findings—Deeds—Delivery. A finding that a deed was executed in blank and that the party obtaining the same afterwards filled in the name of the grantee, sufficiently shows that the deed was delivered, in the absence of a statement of facts or bill of exceptions.</p>
