        "text": "Him,, C. J.\nThe parties to this suit are husband and wife; they have been married thirty-two years, and are the parents of nine children, and in their old age have fallen into litigation with each other over lots 4, 5 and 6 in block 142, in the city of Little Rock. Lot 4 was purchased in 1887 by Mrs. O\u2019Hair from her mother, contrary to the wishes of Mr. O\u2019Hair. It was heavily incumbered, and the equity not of great value. Part of lot 5, was purchased by Mrs. O\u2019Hair, or rather she made a small payment on the purchase price, while Mr. O\u2019Hair was in Colorado for his health, and without his knowledge. The other parts of the lot were purchased subsequently. The titles were taken in Mrs. O\u2019Hair\u2019s name, and the evidence shows that the mortgages were reduced, and the purchase price paid, by moneys derived from Mr. O\u2019Hair, Mrs. O\u2019PIair, their children, and the rents from the property. Lot 6 was purchased by Mr. O\u2019Hair, paid for by him, and the title taken in his wife\u2019s name. He was then in embarrassed circumstances, and testifies that the title was put in her name to protect her and the family from anything which might happen to him, and to secure a home for themselves and their children.\nMr. O\u2019Hair is seeking to impress a trust upon lots 4 and 5 in his favor for the payments made for their purchase, which he claims were practically all made by him, and upon lot 6 on account \u2019 of an understanding with his wife that it was to be held for their' mutual benefit.\nPassing the question of the sufficiency of the evidence to establish a trust, even if the transaction was between strangers (see Tillar v. Henry, 75 Ark. 446), there is no trust in this case. Judge Eaicin thus expressed the whole situation as-presented by this record:\n\u201cThis is only a claim for money advanced to buy a piece of land for the wife and improve it. It was a good thing for the husband to do, and may be supposed to have been done from a desire to protect her against want. The law will not raise any implied promise on her part to repay it. It will be presumed to-be a gift.\u201d Ward v. Estate of Ward, 36 Ark. 586.\nThe principles controlling this case may be found in Miller v. Freeman, 40 Ark. 67; Robinson v. Robinson, 45 Ark. 481; Bogy v. Roberts, 48 Ark. 17; White v. White, 52 Ark. 188; Rhea v. Bagley, 63 Ark. 374; Culberhouse v. Culberhouse, 68 Ark. 405; Grayson v. Bowlin, 70 Ark. 145; and many more on the same line. The decree is affirmed.\nBattue, J., absent.",
