Drake v. Bradly
Drake v. Bradly
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
The antenuptial deed of Drake to appellant did not convert her property into separate estate. The only effect it could have was to deprive him of the right he might otherwise have acquired by his marriage with the grantee; and by Art. 2, Chap. 47, Rev. Stat., her
Appellees account is for goods sold to the husband and charged by his directions to his wife; and while the articles charged, or the most of them, may have been necessaries, still, as appellant never undertook to pay for said goods in writing with her husband, her estate is not liable for the debt of appellee.
Wherefore the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded with direction for further proceedings consistent herewith.
