Phillips v. Kirby

Opinion of the Court

Adams, Oh. J.

Where the husband gives his individual note for goods purchased and used as family expenses, the cause of action against the wife is not barred until the cause of action upon the note would be barred as against the husband, (Waggoner v. Turner, 69 Iowa, 127,) and this is so where the note has been put in judgment against the husband. (Frost v. Parker, 65 Iowa, 178.) Following those decisions, the judgment must be Ee versed.
