Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Postnuptial Agreement — Different Writings — A Single Transaction. The general rule is that different writings, made by the same parties, at the same timé, relating to the same subject matter, in the course of the same transaction, and which refer to each other, should be read together and construed as a single contract, and, hence, a postnuptial agreement and two warranty deeds executed by parties under such circumstances are deemed to be parts of a single transaction, and so taken together and interpreted they show the intention of each party to exclude the other from the right of inheritance in the land conveyed.</p>
