Opinion of the Court

Gilbert, J.

Where, upon the trial of a claim case the validity of the conveyance under which the claimant asserts his right depends upon whether it was fraudulent, and the evidence, with all reasonable deductions or inferences therefrom does not demand a particular verdict, it is error for the court to direct the jury to find a verdict. Civil Code (1910), § 5926; compare Stephens v. Southern Cotton Oil Co., 147 Ga. 410 (94 S. E. 245).

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
