Syllabus

<p>Where from a bill to enforce what is alleged to be a trust in favor of the complaint, it appears that one of the defendants owned a half interest in real estate, and the other two defendants owned the other half interest, and that the one who owned the half interest, agreed with complainant to purchase the other half interest owned by the two other defendants for the joint benefit of complainant and such defendant but failed to carry out his agreement with complainant, and purchased the said half interest for his own benefit alone, and it does not appear that such defendant occupied any sort of fiduciary relation to the complainant and that the complainant did not furnish any of the money for such purchase, and had no legal interest, or contract rights in the property, and that such defendant was not the agent of complainant in the management or control of the property, no constructive or resulting trust is shown, and a demurrer to the bill for want of equity is properly sustained.</p>
