Supreme Court of Virginia March 9, 1853 (Boyce's adm'r v. Smith)

Samuels, J.

The evidence not excepted to shows with sufficient clearness, that previous to the 1st of January 1836, John Boyce was indebted by bond to Eobert I. Smith in the amount mentioned in the bond *707and deed of trust of that date. Question, however, is made by the appellants whether John Boyce was of sufficiently sound mind at that time to execute the bond and deed.
