Syllabus

<p>1. Deed oe Trust. Insufficient description of property.</p> <p>The words, “ one bay mare,” contained in a deed of trust, there being nothing else to identify the particular animal referred to, constitute an insufficient description, and render the instrument void as to a purchaser for value who has no other notice of the rights of the parties than that afforded by the record of the conveyance.</p> <p>2. Replevin. Damages. Attorney’s fee, when not allowed.</p> <p>It is improper for the jury in an action of replevin to allow to the defendant an attorney’s fee by way of damages, where the proof fails to show any wilful wrong, fraud, malice or oppression on the part of the plaintiff.</p>
