SIMPSON, J.
This was a bill filed in the chancery court, by the appellee, (complainant), a lunatic, by her guardian, against appellants, who are administrators 'of the estate of J. B. Wilkerson, complainant’s deceased husband; one of said defendants, Malinda Holloway, being also his only heir. The bill is for the purpose of having a resulting trust declared in favor of complainant in certain lands which, it is alleged, were bought by said J. B. Wilkerson; on the 14th day of November, 1874 with moneys belonging to complainant. The purchase price of the lands was $1,000. The record of the final settlement of the estate of complainant’s father, James M.. Lauderdale, shows that the said settlement was made on the 9th of April, 1872, and according to the interpretation of the complainant she received at that time $661.73, in addition to $973.90 which had been *299advanced to her by the administrator before that time; while the respondent interprets the record to mean that $661.73 was her entire distributive share, and that against it the administrator held the $973.90 previously advanced, so that she was really indebted to tire estate. However that may be, whatever money was received by her, is thus shown to have been received at and anterior to a period of two years and seven months before the land in question was purchased by said husband of complainant. There is no proof as to whether the husband had ever used the money, or kept it intact during that period, and the only proof that said money was used in the purchase of the land in question is that J. S. Lauderdale, who is the guardian of complainant, and as such filed the bill in this case, testifies that complainant received about. $1,000 from her father’s estate, on settlement, with other smaller amounts from other sources; that he went over the land with J. B. Wilkerson, the husband, before he purchased it, and said Wilkerson said “his wife wanted him to buy it for her, he did buy it, and he said he used his wife’s money to pay for it;” and .that said Wilkerson frequently spoke of the land as his wife’s land, and the rents were paid to her. Several other witnesses testified to the fact that the rents of this land were paid to complainant; but neither testifies as to what money paid for the land. The respondents offered some testimony tending to show that the land was paid for with other funds.
The defendants objected to the testimony of J. S. Lauderdale, and moved to exclude the same, on.the ground that said witness was not competent, to testify as to any transaction with or statement by J. B. Wilkerson, who is now dead, and whose estate is interested in the result of this suit. As said Lauderdale is guardian, and as such a party to this suit, liable for costs, and would also be entitled to. commissions in the management of said property for the use of his ward if the trust should be declared, the objection to his testimony was properly made, and should have been sustained.— Code 1896, § 1794; Adler v.

*300But, aside from this, the evidence offered does not reach the point of being so “clear, full, satisfactory, and convincing” as the law demands, in order to set aside the presumption arising from the terms of the conveyance, and to fasten a resulting trust on the land.—Lehman et al. v.
