Syllabus

<p>Deeds (13, 16) — Execution in Blank — Authority to Choose Grantee — Delivery—Sufficiency, Where a deed was duly executed with the name of the grantee in blank and delivered to another with authority to elect who should be the grantee, the fact that the grantee selected by the agent was directed to write his own name in the deed as grantee, was merely the doing of a physical act and not a «delegation of authority to choose the grantee.</p> <p>Cancellation of Instruments (6) — Fraud. The wrongful act of an agent, delegated with authority to fill in the name of a grantee left blank, in expending the money procured by him from the grantee, is not ground for setting aside the deed by the grantor.</p>
