1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Justic® Gag®.
The plaintiff is widow of Jefferson Sharpe, and the defendant is his son by a former marriage. These two are at outs about $1,500 in money which had belonged to Jefferson, and which he had in a bank. The plaintiff, in an action to marshal the assets of Jefferson’s estate, made claim for that $1,500, which she alleged her husband had given her on the eve of his death, donatio causa mortis.. The defendant disputes the gift. The master sustained the gift; the Circuit Court concluded against the gift. And that is the issue.
