• 44 Ill. 129

Syllabus

<p>1. Pleading—pleas amounting to general issue. Where the general issue and special pleas are filed, and the matter of the special pleas can be given in evidence under the general issue, the special pleas are obnoxious to demurrer, and may be stricken from the files.</p> <p>2. Gift—husband and wife. At law, a gift from husband to wife is ordinarily void, and, being so, can be revoked by the husband. Courts of equity will, in certain cases, support such gifts, but require clear and incontrovertible evidence.</p>
