Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Oral Contract — To Withhold Suit to Set Aside Will. The findings and verdict returned by the jury were supported by sufficient evidence.</p> <p>2. Same — Compromise and Settlement — Forbearance to Bring Suit to Set Aside Will. The plaintiff claimed that her brothers, the defendants, agreed to pay her a certain sum for her withholding a suit to set aside the will and certain conveyances of their father. The record indicates that the plaintiff had been advised and believed that she had a good cause of action, and it is held that under such circumstances an oral agreement to pay a certain sum for forbearance was valid; and such alleged agreement was sufficiently supported by the evidence.</p>
