The case is reported in 44 Ill. 455, where a statement of the facts may be found. Upon the cause being remanded to the circuit court, a decree was rendered in conformity with the views of this court, as there announced. The defendants below again bring the cause to this court by appeal.

Decided 1868-06-15

Mr. Justice Lawrence

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court.

¶2This case was before this court at a former term, and the decree since rendered is in conformity with the directions we then gave. The evidence of the appellant has been since taken, but, after examining it in connection with the other testimony in the case, we find no reason to change the conclusion at which we formerly arrived. The fact that Mrs. Conlee’s money was used in building the house, is shown to have been very clearly admitted, both' by her guardian and by the appellant.

¶3Decree affirmed.
