Syllabus

<p>Insane person—parties—bill to set aside deed of lunatic—who may sue. A bill will not lie in the name of a lunatic or insane person, by his next friend, to set aside or avoid a deed made by such lunatic or insane person. Such suit, in equity, must be brought in the name of the conservator, who is invested by law with the care and management of the property and estate of the lunatic or idiot. The action of the court requiring the next friend to file bond for costs, will not authorize him to sue as next friend of the lunatic.</p>
