¶1Opinion oe the 'Oouet by
¶2It appears from tbe evidence that the tract of about twenty-six acres of land to which the appellant had the legal title as heir of his son, Berry Williams, subject only to the widow’s dower, was worth at least $20 an acre, and that the life estate embraced by his deed to Mrs. Jones, was also of considerable value; all of which the deed purports to convey, in consideration of a diseased mare which died shortly afterwards of but little value at the time the deed was made, and belonging equally to the plaintiff and Mrs. Jones as distributees of the estate of Berry Williams deceased. In view of this grossly inadequate consideration for the conveyance, and the advanced age, distress and weak, if not deranged mental condition of appellant and the expectation he seems to have had at the time, of being further compensated by having a home with his danghter-in-law, which was disappointed; and Mrs. Jones’ own admissions disclosing a knowledge of his incapacity, and a deliberate purpose to overreach him, we are constrained to conclude that the transaction was one which ought not to be upheld by a court of equity, and thát the circuit court erred in refusing'the relief sought by the plaintiff and dismissing his petition.
¶3Wherefore the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded *335with instructions to render a judgment for the plaintiff in conformity with this opinion.
