““(1) That actual fraud is not to be presumed, but should be proven by the party who alleges it; (2) if the motive and design of an act may be traced to an honest and legitimate source equally as to a corrupt one, the former ought to be preferred; (3) if a person against whom fraud is alleged should be proved to have been guilty of any number of instances, still, if the particular act sought to be avoided be not shown to be attended with fraud, it cannot be affected by these other frauds, unless in some way or other it ba connected with or form part of them.””
