Syllabus

<p>Fraud (8, 22)—Purchaser of Land—Deficiency in Acreage-Evidence—Sufficiency. Findings that purchasers were not misled to their prejudice by false representations that a tract of land contained twenty acres, are sustained, where the tract' was in compact form, its boundaries all in view and pointed out, and the purchasers twice inspected the boundaries and expressed doubt as to the area, but finally accepted deed referring to the land as twenty acres more or less, in view of a dispute in the evidence as to the representations made and the rule that the burden was upon them to show the fraud by clear and convincing evidence.</p>
