Opinion of the Court
The respondents’ proposition in this case is, that money earned by a wife may be taken for the debt of her husband. The question is solved by a provision of the Code not referred to by counsel on either side. It is section 168 of the Civil Code, and reads: “ The earnings of the wife are not liable for the debts of the husband.”
