1Opinion of the CourtMcAllister, J.
Plaintiffs filed their bill of complaint to remove a cloud on title from their lands in Porter township of Midland county and asked rescission of a royalty agreement and an accounting for oil removed from the lands in question. Their bill is based upon allegations of fraud and the sale of stock in violation of the blue sky law, 2 Comp. Laws 1929, § 9769 et seq. (Stat. Ann. § 19.741 et seq.). The trial court found that there was no merit to the claim of fraud, but granted the relief sought on the ground of violation of the statutes relating to the sale of corporate securities.
