Syllabus

<p>Cancellation of Instruments — Deeds—Fraud—Evidence—Sufficiency. There is no such clear, unequivocal and convincing evidence as to warrant the setting aside of a quitclaim deed, on the ground that the grantor supposed it to he a guaranty of a debt, and signed it without reading because he did not have his glasses, and the grantor is guilty of negligence precluding relief, where it appears that he had lived in this country forty years, could read and speak English, was engaged in business, had average experience and had conveyed property, and did not read the deed or ask to have it explained; the cashier of the grantee testifying that the deed was given voluntarily as security for the debt.</p> <p>Deeds — Consideration—Seal. A deed under seal imports a consideration.</p>
