Syllabus

<p>1. Resulting Trusts—Parol evidence—Case at bar.—Where one, with another’s money, buys an estate, and takes the conveyance in his own name, by presumption of law, a trust results in favor of him whose money is thus used. Such trust may be established by parol proof; but the proof must be clear. In the case at bar, the proof was clear. Kane v. Conners, 78 Va. 76.</p> <p>2. Chancery Practice—Final decree—Bill of review—Decree disposing of and deciding the entire matters in controversy and awarding costs and leaving nothing to be done in the cause, is a final decree, and can be reviewed and reversed only on bill of review, either for errors on the face of the proceedings or for after discovered evidence, material and not merely cumulative, which could not, by reasonable diligence, have been discovered before the decree.</p>
