In the case of Levi L Stillwell, plain­ tiff. vs. Sarah J. Stillwell, defendant, taken under advisement by Judge G. H. Burnett at the last term of the circuit court, a decision has been given in favor of Mrs. Stillwell. The plaintiff sought to obtain possession from the plaintiff, his former wife, what is known as the Keyes place, composed of several acres of land in this city. The judge, in considering the testimony of plaintiff and defendant, the one denying and the other affirming that it was their intention that the pro­ perty purchased with $480 should be the propertv of the defendant in fee simple, the presumption attaching to such a transaction between husband and wife to the effect that the propertv so purchased in the name of the wife is to be deemed an advancement to the wife is sufficient to create a preponderance of evidence in favor of the defendant, so the court de­ cided that the purchase of the Keyes place was at that time intended by the plaintiff to be and was an advancement by the plaintiff to his then wife, nor was there a trust of any kind insuring to the benefit of the plaintiff that arose out ot anv of the transactions, so the court de­ creed that plaintiff was not entitled to any relief. The order of the court was that defendant was entitled to have the suit dismissed and neither party should recover costs and disbursements from the other.
