43 Ark. 160 | Ark. | 1884
The appellant, a married woman, filed this bill against her husband and divers others, to annul and cancel certain deeds of some land, being her separate property. The facts are that she, with her husband, conveyed the land to a third party,, without any consideration in order that they might be reconveyed to the husband, which was done...1 The husband afterwards for a valuable consideration sold and conveyed the lands to defendant Chenault, who had notice of the wife’s claim.
The gravamen of the charges in the bill, consists in this : that the deed was obtained from her by fraud and undue influence on the part of her husband; that it was without consideration, and not acknowledged in accordance with the forms prescribed for the conveyance of real estate by a married woman.
The charges of fraud are denied, and it appears that the deed was executed after the adoption of the Constitution of 1874. It is acknowledged by husband and wife jointly, without privy examination, or disclaimer of compulsion or undue influénce.
TJpon the hearing the Chancellor found no fraud nor cornpulsion, nor undue influence, and dismissed the bill for want of equity. From this she appeals.
Affirm.
