Fisher, who, to prevent collection thereof, had previously deeded an undivided sixth of a quarter section of land to his brother, William J. Fisher.

Defendants seek a reversal on two grounds: (1) The cancelation is an attempt to relieve plaintiff from his OAvn mistake of law. (2) The action is barred by the statute of limitations.
Affirmed.
