Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Third Judicial District Court, Parish of Claiborne; J. E. Reynolds, Judge. Suit by Alice Jackson and others against G. W. Shaw, Jr. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiffs appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtSt. Paul, J.
Thirteen years before the filing of this suit the mother of plaintiffs sold the property in controversy for a recited cash consideration of $217.88 to defendant who has been in possession ever since. Plaintiffs now seek to have the deed annulled upon three grounds: (1) That their mother was coerced' into signing the deed by her husband; (2) that the deed was given only as security, and a counter letter given which has since been lost; and (3) that the recital of the deed is not true, the sole consideration for said transfer being a debt due to defendant by the husband.
