Syllabus

<p>Tbtjstee—what constitutes. The mere fact, that a purchaser is the son-in-law of the grantor does not constitute the purchaser a trustee of the vendor. And when it appears, that the vendor and vendee while on friendly terms were not intimate, and when the purchaser had not acted as the agent or business adviser, and it does not appear, that the vendor said any thing which implied that she relied upon the vendee to act as her agent in the matter, it will not be presumed, that such confidence was reposed as required the purchaser to disclose the fact, that he had superior knowledge of the value of the property^ or that he was authorized by the remaindermen to offer more than he gave for the life estate of the vendor in the property.</p>
