Appeal — Law op the case. — That the former decision of this court in this case, upon substantially the same evidence, is the law of the case, and will not be reviewed.</p> <p>2. Community Property — Presumption as to. — Where a husband remained in undisputed possession of community real estate from the death of his wife, in April, 1868, until 1882, when he sold the same without objection to a bona fide purchaser for value, the law will presume that the sale was lawfully made and this presumption will prevail to protect the title of such purchaser, whether there were community debts at the death of the wife or not, in a suit by the heirs of the wife.</p>
