CAN A HUSBAND ASSIGN HIS WIFE
PRoPERTY?-In the Supreme Court yester-
cay two cases were decided involving the
rlght OF husband 10 assign property to his
Wlle, the decision being The came in both
instances The first was thst OF Lloyd ".
ulton, appeal from the Circuit Court for
me northern district OF Georgia. The oues-
ZION Ia this case was whether settlement
made by the husband upon the wife, IL M sde
wnen Inc husband was able TO pay all his
Indebtedness, was void as against preylons
creditors. II tskeld that while by the old
rule OF law such eeeds as against previous
crecitors were Vol, the rule now Is that
PRIOR Indebtedness Is only presu mptive, and
not conclusive proof of fraud. And this pre-
sumption may be explained and rebutted
II no irsud appears there is no defect in the
oeed. Every case depends upon the cir
cnrnsfances which surround Ii and is to be
carefully scrutinized. In this case it is said
that there is no evidences which would war
rant the court In holding that the transaction
was not in goo faith. The grantor was able
TO pay his Indebtedness and offered to pay.
