Reduction – Force and Fear. – A reduction was raised of certain deeds impetrated from the respondent’s mother, under the threat that the deed granted in her favour by her father was forged, and that he could procure them to be hanged for it, whereby she, with consent of her husband, was induced to grant a disposition of the estate left her by her father, and also to execute a renunciation of her right: Held these deeds invalid and ineffectual, and reduced accordingly.
