Syllabus

<p>1. Fraud—Limitation.—Fraud will only prevent the running of the statute of limitations until the fraud is discovered, or until, by the use of reasonable diligence, it might have been discovered.</p> <p>2. Pleading—Same.—If a petition reveals facts showing that the failure to discover fraud was the result of the laches of plaintiff, the general allegation that the fraud could not have been discovered sooner will not prevent the running of the statute of limitations.</p> <p>3. Laches—Same.—Failure to recognize the contents of a deed of record for seventeen years, is evidence of ladies in discovering its contents, the ignorance of the contents being the ground relied on to stop the running of the statute.</p> <p>4. Laches.—See allegations held insufficient to warrant relief against the running of the statute of limitations.</p>
