1 Mann. Unrep. Cas. 216
Succession of Brown

Opinion of the Court

De Blanc, J.

That article has no reference to the mandate from the husband to the wife empowering her to sell the common property. Married women may be appointed attorneys in fact. Rev. Civ. Code, Arts. 3001, 1787. If they can act as agents for strangers, there is no reason why they should not be selected as such by their husbands.

Judgment affirmed.
