Metcalf

Read v. Earle

Opinion of the Court

Metcalf, J.

The money sued for was the sole and separate property of the plaintiff, and she may maintain an action for it, as if she were a feme sole. St. 1855, c. 304, §§ 1, 4. On this point, and on all other points in the case, the jury were correctly instructed, and their verdict must be taken to have affirmed all the facts necessary to charge the defendants, and to have negatived all facts which, if found, would have exonerated them.

Exceptions overruled.
