“ The court of first instance held that the sale was real and that there was mental capacity. It, however, decided that one undivided half of the property belonged, not to Antonio, but to his wife, in virtue of her community interest, and vested on her death in her heirs. To that extent the sale was set aside and judgment was directed for 13,250 pesos as the gross value of the use of the one undivided half of the property during the time it was unlawfully retained. ”

“ In the first place, the consideration expressed for the sale made by Antonio Enriquez of the entire property was only 8,000 pesos, and while the amended complaint, in assiling the conveyance, alleged the actual value of the property to have been 20,000 pesos, the trial court, from the evidence, found that the real value of the property at the time of the sale was 14,000 pesos; that is, $7,000 currency of the United States. ”

“ Rafael Enriquez, as administrator of the estate of his father, Antonio Enriquez, and as his heir, joined by other children and a grandchild of the deceased, also suing as heirs, who were plaintiffs below and are appellants here, sued to set aside a purported conveyance of a piece of real estate in the city of Manila, made by the deceased to his daughter-in-law, Carmen, the wife of a son, Francisco, who were defendants below and are appellees here. ”
