1947In his reply brief defendant says that assuming that plaintiff and defendant Jacob Aaron were equally credible the plaintiff therefore has placed himself in a position where he comes within the time-honored rule that a party heard in the affirmative of a proposition is required to maintain it by a preponderance of the evidence and this can never be the case when one of two parties both equally credible makes an assertion which is denied by the other, citing Broughton v. Smart, 59 Ill. 440 , and Northern Trust Co. v. Parker, 205 Ill.

1988The last sentence was added by amendment in 1967, and its constitutionality was upheld in McKenzie v. Johnson (1983), 98 Ill. 2d 87 , 456 N.E.2d 73 , where the supreme court set forth the time-honored principle that a property tax exemption created by statute cannot be broader than the constitutional provision for exemptions.

1982(Elmore v. Johnson (1892), 143 Ill. 513, 525 .) The measure of good faith which an attorney is required to exercise in all his dealings with his client is a much higher standard than is required when the parties deal with each other at arm’s length.

1982It is a time-honored principle that all transactions occurring between attorney and client, while the relationship continues, must be subject to the closest scrutiny. ( Elmore v. Johnson (1892), 143 Ill. 513, 525 .) The measure of good faith which an attorney is required to exercise in all his dealings with his client is a much higher standard than is required when the parties deal with each other at arm's length.

1977This analysis convinces us that People v. Dawson (1961), 22 Ill. 2d 260 , 174 N.E.2d 817 , cited by defendant, cannot assist him here.

1977We must apply the time-honored principle that “it is the function of the trier of fact to determine the credibility of the witnesses, the weight to be given to their testimony and the inferences to be drawn from the evidence. [Citations.] Where the evidence is merely conflicting a court of review will not substitute its judgment for that of the trier of fact.” People v. Akis (1976), 63 Ill. 2d 296, 298-99 , 347 N.E.2d 733 .

1976(Miller v. Bullington, 381 Ill. 238 .) Under the Torrens system, “[i]n furtherance of the theory that everything regarding a present title should be ascertainable from the certificate on file in the office of the Registrar of Titles, the time-honored doctrine in most states of constructive notice by reason of occupancy does not prevail.” 2 Patton on Land Titles, sec. 682, at 624 (2d ed. 1957), citing, inter alia, Bjornberg v. Myers, 212 Ill.

1976Stat. 1973, ch. 30, par. 85.) Another example is that prior unrecorded interests in land subject to the recording system may maintain their priority over subsequent good faith purchasers of interest in the same land through the doctrine of constructive notice through possession. ( Miller v. Bullington, 381 Ill. 238 .)

1961There is no rule of construction which authorizes us to declare that the legislature did not mean what the plain language of a statute imparts, (Western National Bank of Cicero v. Village of Kildeer, 19 Ill.2d 342 ; Husser v. Fouth, 386 Ill. 188 ,) and, in addition, we cannot overlook the time-honored rule of construction that a criminal statute must be strictly limited to such subjects as are obviously within its terms.

1961(Pullman Co. v. Cummins, 10 Ill.2d 454 ; City of Elmhurst v. Buettgen, 394 Ill. 248 ; United States v. Wiltberger, 5 Wheat. (18 U.S.) 76, 95, 5 L. ed. 37, 42.) When these settled principles of statutory construction are applied to the case at hand, it emerges clearly that the statute is inapplicable to the operation of the checkroom and comparable facilities in plaintiffs’ hotels.

1958Relying upon the time-honored principle that a plaintiff in ejectment must recover on the strength of his own title rather than the weakness of his adversary’s title, we held in the comparatively recent case of Thompson v. McGrue, 3 Ill.2d 168 , that a plaintiff cannot have judgment on the pleadings where the defendant denies the plaintiff’s title, even when the defendant, by a counterclaim, admitted that his possession was without any claim of right, title 01-interest.
