Syllabus

<p>Deeds. Cancellation. Inequitable advantage of grantee.</p> <p>Where an aged inebriate, a pensioner on the charities of the public and threatened with the loss of his annuity, was induced by a shrewd business man, the self appointed custodian of two wills under which property was devised to such inebriate, to deed him the property so devised him, for a grossly inadequate consideration, in such case the court will cancel such deed on the ground that an inequitable advantage was taken of the grantor.</p>
