Syllabus

<p>Equity — Jurisdiction—Demurrer—Fraud.</p> <p>A bill in equity is not demurrable which avers in substance that the plaintiff, being indebted to the defendant in about the sum of $2,750, transferred to him certain real and personal estate and two judgments as collateral security; that the defendant realized $4,000 from the personal property, and is largely overpaid; that he still holds the veal estate and the judgments, and refuses to render any account, and that a written agreement, signed by the defendant and annexed as an exhibit, falsely states the amount of the indebtedness; the prayers being for a reformation of the agreement, a reconveyance of the real estate, an accounting for the money received, and for an injunction against transfers and incumbrances.</p>
