Ford v. Ford
Opinion of the Court
Our consideration of tbe pleadings and proofs in this case has satisfied us that there is no error in the learned trial judge’s findings of fact or conclusions of law that requires a reversal or modification of the decree. His findings of 'fact are fully warranted by the evidence, and the conclusions drawn from the facts thus established appear to be correct. There is nothing in either of the nineteen specifications of error that requires discussion.
On the facts found by the learned trial judge, and for reasons given in his opinion, we affirm the decree and dismiss the appeal at appellant’s costs.

- Deed—Setting aside deed—Incompetency of grantor—Husband and wife —Evidence. Wher-e a deed is executed by a husband to a wife for the purpose of saving the home of the family from the consequences of the habit of excessive drinking of the husband, and it appears that the deed was made at the suggestion of the husband at a time when he was not intoxicated, and that no undue influence was brought to bear upon him by the wife, the court will not decree a reconveyance to the husband, but will direct the wife in view of the circumstances under which the deed was made, and of the absence of consideration, to execute and place upon record such a declaration as will show that she holds the property in trust for her husband and family. Husband and wife—Undue influence—Presumption. There is no presumption, from the fact that the relationship of husband and wife is one of confidence and trust, that a deed from husband to wife, made without any valuable consideration, was induced by undue influence.
