Syllabus

<p>Equity — Costs—Deed—Mutual mistake — Reconveyance.</p> <p>Where by mutual mistake there is included in a deed of gift to a church more land than the parties intended, and the grantee, after a demand is made for a reconveyance, makes no effort to ascertain the facts, or to obtain information from those who represented it in the negotiation for the property, but forces the grantor to resort to a bill in equity for a reconveyance, all of the costs of the equity suit should be borne by the grantee.</p>
