of a particular nature, from which arises presumption.
According to some authorities circumstantial is
distinguished from positive evidence in that the latter is
the testimony of eyewitnesses to a fact or the admission
of a party; but the prevalent opinion now is that all such
testimony is dependent on circumstances for its support.
All testimony is more or less circumstantial. --Wharton.

deferred dividendTontine insurance Ton*tine" in*su"rance (Life Insurance)
Insurance in which the benefits of the insurance are
distributed upon the tontine principle. Under the old, or
full tontine, plan, all benefits were forfeited on lapsed
policies, on the policies of those who died within the
tontine period only the face of the policy was paid
without any share of the surplus, and the survivor at the
end of the tontine period received the entire surplus.
This plan of tontine insurance has been replaced in the
United States by the
semitontine plan, in which the surplus is divided among the
holders of policies in force at the termination of the
tontine period, but the reverse for the paid-up value is
paid on lapsed policies, and on the policies of those that
have died the face is paid. Other modified forms are
called free tontine, deferred dividend, etc.,
according to the nature of the tontine arrangement. Demurrer to evidenceDemurrer De*mur"rer, n.

proceed further.
Demurrer to evidence, an exception taken by a party to the

to proceed further, on the allegation that such evidence
is not sufficient in law to maintain the issue, and a
