to the place of beginning. The remainder of
said 81 acres was allotted to J. T. Brady. The
652 acres set apart to John T. Brady was con-
veyed by him to the Houston Land & Trust
Company, as trustee for the Port Houston
Land Improvement Company, as part of a tract
of 1,374 acres, and was acquired through
mesne conveyances by the defendant Magnolia
Park Company. The 81 acres conveyed by
Mary A. Tinsley to John T. Brady included the
balance of her share and the shares of Chas. Tin-
sley and Isaac Henderson Tinsley, and the jury
found on special issues submitted that the con-
veyance as to the shares of Chas. and Isaac
Tinsley was made in trust for them. We think
the facts of the case justify this conclusion.
The Magnolia Park Company, as an innocent
purchaser for value, acquired title to the tract
of 65% acres, and as to it should have judg-
ment. As the heirs of John T. Brady, Jr., the
defendants Lucy Sherman Brady, Sidney Sher-
man Brady, and Mary Etta Brady acquired
title to the tract of 28 acres conveyed by Mary
A. Tinsley to John T. Brady, for the use of
John T. Brady, Jr., as his share of the lands
set apart to Mary A. Tinsley in lieu of the
stock in the New Houston City Company, and
are entitled to judgment therefor. The tract
of 15 acres set apart to Lucy S. and Sidney
S. Brady in the partition between John T.
Brady and his deceased wife, Lennie S. Brady,
was received by them charged with the trust in
favor of the plaintiffs; but, as Mary A. Tinsley
owned an absolute interest in the 81 acres con-
veyed by her to John T. Brady, amounting to
the difference between the entire tract and the
shares of the plaintiffs, which were found to
be 64% acres, to wit, 16% acres, which more
than covers the 151⁄2 acres, the heirs of Lennie
S. Brady would take her share of the com-
munity unaffected by such trust. The jury
found the interest of Chas. Tinsley, Isaac H.
Tinsley, and John T. Brady, Jr., in the 109
acres to be 32% acres each, which would leave
only 12 acres to Mary A. Tinsley; but, as she
conveyed only 28 acres of the land in full of
John T. Brady, Jr.'s, interest, we must suppose
that the difference in acreage was accounted for
in the quality of the land, as she was invested
with the legal title and had the right to make
partition. There would still be a question, per-
haps, of division between the share of Mary A.
Tinsley and those of the plaintiffs; but the
number of acres that she received from
the 109-acre tract and the balance to her
in the 109 acres would still amount to less
in acreage
than the difference between the
shares of the plaintiffs and the entire tract
conveyed by her to Brady. So we conclude
that the interest in the 109 acres of Mary
A. Tinsley as the owner of one of the shares
does not amount to less than the 15% acres,
and that the title to this amount at least be-
came vested in the community estate of John
T. and Lennie S. Brady unaffected by the trust
in favor of plaintiffs, except as to the com-
munity share of John T. Brady, which equity
would require to be substituted in the place
of the land really charged with it, and con-
veyed by him and acquired by the Magnolia
Park Company discharged of it. The plaintiffs,
therefore, would be entitled to recover an
divided one-half of the tract of 15% acres, and
for the other half of said tract the defendants
Lucy Sherman Brady and Sidney Sherman
Brady should have judgment. The judgment
heretofore entered by this court is set aside of
the court's own motion, and judgment will be
here rendered in accordance with the above cou-
clusions. Reversed and rendered.

On Motion for Additional Conclusions.
(June 19, 1903.)

un

The appellees have filed a motion for additional conclusions of fact, and specify a number of points on which they desire such conclusions.

Several of the particulars upon which they ask for conclusions are of matters that appear from the record as of the facts appertaining to the motion to dismiss the appeal. Counsel may present such facts to the Supreme Court in their application for a writ of error, should they make one, without its being necessary for this court_to_gather such facts for them from the record. There are other particulars which are either included in the conclusions heretofore filed or upon which this court does not think it would be material to make conclusions. But the following facts are found supplemental to those included in the conclusions heretofore filed. We refer to the statement made for the Supreme Court on the certified questions, and to the facts found in our disposition of the case on May 21, 1903, as conclusions heretofore filed. (1) The jury in the court below, upon the submission to them of special issues, found that the 209 acres was awarded in the partition to Mary A. Tinsley in lieu of the 1,700 shares of stock conveyed to her in trust by Isaac T. Tinsley for the benefit of his heirs; that the said Mary A. Tinsley so held the land in trust, and at all times recognized the beneficial interest of the parties mentioned in the deed. (2) The consideration of the deed from John T. Brady to the Port Houston Land & Improvement Company, as found by the jury, was bonds and stock of said company, to wit, 260 bonds of $1,000 each and 2,500 shares of stock; that at the time of his death Brady owned about one-half of the bonds of said company, and that the Magnolia Park Company issued to the heirs of Brady stock and bonds in lieu thereof; and that the heirs of Brady still own the same, and inherited from their father that and other property, all amounting to $200,000, which is in the hands of their guardian. (3) At the date of the deed from Mary A. Tinsley to John T. Brady, to wit, October 2, 1881, as stated in the certificate, Isaac Henderson Tinsley was of unsound mind. He continued so until his death March 19, 1882. When he died he left surviving him his wife, Louisa Tinsley, and two children, to wit, Mamie and Henderson, both of whom were under age when this suit was brought. Isaac Henderson Tinsley never knew of the conveyance to Brady, or that he was claiming the land. The jury found that the land was worth, at the time of the trial in the court below, $200 an acre. The deed executed by Mary A. Tinsley to John T. Brady did not purport to have been executed by her as trustee, and did not disclose that she intended to act in any other than an individual capacity.

We certified the question to the Supreme Court, and they have, in an opinion published in 73 S. W. 951, 7 Tex. Ct. Rep. 239, held it constitutional. Therefore the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.

§ 1. Nature and requisites.

A declaration of law that a widow's oc-

In trespass to try title, where it did not ap-
pear that an agent asserting a claim to the land

(Tex. Civ. App.) 835.

Where the grantee in a recorded deed pays

because his tract is larger than he supposed.
