Supreme Court of New Hampshire, 1892

Storrs & Bement Co. v. Wingate

Storrs & Bement Co. v. Wingate
Supreme Court of New Hampshire · Decided June 5, 1892 · Carpenter, Smith
29 A. 413; 67 N.H. 190

Storrs & Bement Co. v. Wingate

Opinion of the Court

Carpenter, J.

The contract of a married woman as surety for her husband is invalid. Gen. Laws, a. 183, s. 12. The fact that another is bound with the defendant’s husband for the payment of the note does not render her undertaking any the less a contract of suretyship for him. Stokell v. Kimball, 59 N. H. 13.

Judgment for the defendant.

Smith, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
