Syllabus

<p>Equity — Fraud—Partnership.</p> <p>A bill in equity against a partner by the sons of a deceased partner to secure the cancelation of an agreement alleged to have been made when the deceased was ill and ignorant of the facts, and when the defendant was occupying a confidential relation towards him, is properly dismissed where the court finds upon ample evidence that the deceased knew what he was doing, that he had capacity to decide for himself, that he was not, in fact, overreached at all, but made just the kind of bargain he desired, and his partner agreed to.</p>
