1Opinion of the Court

Almand, Justice.

The judgment under review is one sustaining a general demurrer to a three-count petition seeking cancellation of a warranty deed.

Eugene Williams in his petition alleged that: on February 12, 1963, individually and as executor of the estate of his wife, he conveyed by deed his interest and the estate’s interest in a described tract of land to the defendant Henry J. Lockhart, reserving to himself a life interest; though the deed recites a consideration of $10 and other good and valuable consideration, there was no consideration given by the defendant for the conveyance.
