Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Venue — Action to Compel Reconveyance of Land — Deed, Procured by Fraud — Action TransitOry. An action to compel the defendant to re-convey land claimed by him under a deed alleged to have been procured through his fraud is transitory and not local, and may be brought in any county where personal service can be had upon him. The statute requiring actions “for the determination in any form” of an' interest in real property to be brought in the county where it is situated relates only to actions in which such result is sought by means operating directly upon the property, and does not apply to those by which the conduct of the defendant is sought to be controlled, although the title to the property may thereby be affected.</p>
