Syllabus

<p>Cancellation of Instruments — Fraud—Want of Consideration —Evidence—Sufficiency. Parties conveying away their realty for an inadequate consideration, in reliance upon the representations of a fellow countryman that there was danger of losing it, their object being to divest themselves temporarily with a view to protecting themselves against creditors, are entitled to a cancellation of the deed on refunding to the grantee his outlay occasioned in consequence of the transaction, with all accrued interest.</p> <p>Appeal — Supersedeas Bond — Form. A supersedeas bond on appeal conditioned to pay the judgment, fairly indicating that it is given on behalf of all the appellants, is sufficient, on objection first made in the supreme court, although the wife of one of the principals did not join in the bond.</p>
