<p>Deeds — Consideration. A deed otherwise regular is valid whether founded on a valuable or a good consideration.</p> <p>Husband and Wife — Conveyances Between — Separate Property. Where a wife conveyed to her husband a half interest in certain lots, theretofore her separate property, either as a gift or upon consideration of certain payments to be made from the husband’s separate estate, the interest conveyed becomes the separate property of the husband, regardless of the form of the deed, and they thereafter hold the property as tenants in common and not as community property.</p> <p>Same — Conveyances Between — Form of Deed — Community Property. Rem. & Bal. Code, § 8766 with reference to the form of a conveyance between husband and wife of community property has no application to conveyances of an interest in separate property.</p> <p>Same — Husband’s Separate Property — Conveyance. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 5915, the husband may convey his separate property ■without his wife’s joining in the deed.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Objections Not Raised Below. The supreme court will not discuss a question not submitted to the trial court and as to which there was no suggestion either in the pleadings or the evidence.</p>
