in his own name, these facts do not alone
give rise to the presumption that she in
tended it as a gift to him; but on the
contrary he will hold the property in
trust for her. The evidence in this case,
however, shows many more facts. The
husband must have received the money
with. her full knowledge and consent.
He immediately mingled it with $4,000
of his own, and with the whole invested
in the purchase Of certain tracts of land
in Iowa. From that time until lis wife's
death he continued to deal in lands, and
every title was in his own name. These
lands were sold from time to time and
others purchased with the proceeds, his
wife Joining in the execution of the
deeds in every instance.
''There is therefore no possible way of
tracing the money claimed and of sep
arating it from the rest. She must have
had full knowledge of the course and
manner of her husbands dealings, and
acquiesced in them as long as she lived.
The presumption is that she intended
this money as gift to her husband.
upon the question of consideration,
the evidence is not entirely satisfactory,
and from the testimony of the defendant
am of the opinion that the engagement
to marry was made before any promise
to convey the land to defendant. The
land unquestionably belonged to Dim
mick as his separate estate, and he could
do as he pleased with it. He saw fit to
convey it to the defendant, and the con-
veyance must stand. Findings and de-
cree are therefore ordered for defendant"
In department five, yesterday, the ap-
peal case of w. G. Holland vs.. j. E. Nc
Lean, came up for hearing before Judge
Mckinley, who rendered judgment for
the plaintiff as prayed for, but granted
defendants motion for stay of execu-
tion for ten days. This was an action
brought in Justice Lockwood's court, in
July last, to recover $2S.65, the balance
due on livery bill.
