Syllabus

<p>1. Contract—can not rest partly in writing and partly in pm'ol. Where the parties reduce their contract to writing, in the absence of fraud or mistake, the writing must be regarded as embracing the whole of their undertakings, and can not be added to by parol testimony.</p> <p>3. Same—rescission. Where parents conveyed their residence to their son, taking back a lease, or writing, securing to them a home in the house during their lives,-—a privilege never denied them,—the conveyance can not be set aside because of the death of the son, where no fraud was practiced by him.</p>
