Findings — Construction of. —Findings should be reconciled and harmonized wherever possible, and should not be declared contradictory except where absolutely necessary.

Id. — Misrepresentations by Agent of Grantors — Special Agency for Grantee—Ratification — Innocent Purchaser. — Where it appears that the trusted attorney and agent of the grantors made to them intentionally false representations as to the intention of the grantee in accepting the conveyance, in his capacity as their agent, and not as agent of the grantee, and that they so understood the fact, and, by means of such representations, parted with the title, the fact of a special and limited agency for the grantee, not including within its scope authority to make such representations, does not render the grantee subject to the principles of ostensible agency, or ratification of the fraudulent acts of the agent by accepting the fruits thereof; but the loss must fall upon the grantors whose accredited agent caused the loss, and not upon the innocent purchaser, who was personally without taint of fraud.

Id.—Protection of Bona Fide Purchaser — Jurisdiction of Equity. — The riile is fundamental and inflexible that a court of equity will not allow a purchaser in good faith and for value, and without notice of fraud, to be assailed. A court of equity acts only on the conscience of the party, and if he has done nothing that taints it, no demand can attach upon it so as to give jurisdiction.

Id.—Loss to One of Innocent Persons.—When a loss must fall upon one of two innocent persons, it must be borne by him who is the occasion of the loss, especially if there be any carelessness on his part which contributed to the misfortune.

Id. — Fraud or Negligence of Third Party. — Where the loss to one of two innocent persons is caused by the fraud or negligence of a third person, the one who accredited him, or by whose negligence it happened, must be the sufferer.

Id. — Fraud of Third Person upon Grantor — Agency — Innocent Grantee. — The rule that a grantor cannot question his own conveyance, upon the ground that a third party practiced a fraud upon him, not known to or participated in by the grantee, applies with equal force when the fraud is practiced by the agent of the grantor.

Id.—Agency for Grantee — False Representation as to Agreement — Ratification of Agreement — Enforcement — Rescission. — If an agent of a grantee has made unauthorized false representations to the grantor as to an agreement of the grantee to hold the conveyance, in trust, as security, a ratification by the principal of the acts of the agent does not constitute a fraud on the part of the principal, but merely gives life to the agreement, and the grantor can only enforce it as made, and cannot rescind the conveyance.

Id.—Accepting Eruits of Agent’s Acts —Secret Fraudulent Intent ^J}. —Ratification.—The secret, unexpressed intention of the agent of a grantee that his principal shall not perform an agreement to hold the property, in trust, as security, falsely represented by the agent to the grantor as having been made by the grantee, being no part of the means by which the conveyance was induced, a ratification of the agent’s acts, by accepting their fruits, does not involve a ratification of his secret X, fraudulent intent, so as to justify a rescission of the conveyance.

Id.— Ratification of Unassumed Authority.—There can be no ratification of an authority which the agent did not assume to possess, and which the other party did not believe or suspect him to possess.

Id. — Enforcement of Trust — Pleading. — A trust agreement cannot be enforced in an action to rescind a conveyance, where the pleading does not justify such relief.
