98 P. 275; 1908 Kan. LEXIS 139
Smith
Calhoun v. Anderson
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The only proposition of law involved in the case is whether a new consideration is requisite to sustain a deed given by one, after he has attained his majority, to the same grantee, or, at the latter’s request, to another grantee, in ratification of a conveyance of the same property made during minority. The authorities are so uniform that such new consideration is not requisite that a discussion thereof would not tend to illuminate the question. (See 22 Cyc. 545, 603; 18 Am. St. Rep. 706, note, and cases there cited.)
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
