This is an action for partition of the land described in the- complaint. The plaintiff alleges that he and the defendant each are seized and possessed in fee of one-half of said lands by reason of a deed of conveyance executed in March, 1878, and recorded in April, 1878.
The exceptions raise substantially but two questions, to wit: 1st. Was there a resulting trust? 2d. Even if there was a resulting trust, could the defendant interpose such defense when more than six years had elapsed, after discovery of the fraud?
