Illegal contract.^ — If the complaint show, upon its face, that the contract sued upon is illegal, it will be demurrable ; but if it may or may not be illegal, according to the intention of the parties as shown by extrinsic circumstances, it will be presumed legal ;' and it is not necessary for the plaintiii' to allege it is not illegal.'

And it has been held, although we doubt the soundness ' Met.
