5 The court also quoted with approval the above-stated language of Ford v. Chambers, together with similar passages from a contemporary treatise on the topic: e.g., "It is not necessary, however, that the fraud shall be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. . . . If the evidence is of sufficient force to produce a preponderance of assent in favor of fraud, it is sufficient." (Ibid.)
