Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1886

Simpson v. Kennedy

Simpson v. Kennedy
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 5, 1886
2 Sadler 221; 3 A. 791; 18 Week. No. 93; 1886 Pa. LEXIS 635

Simpson v. Kennedy

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The unquestioned evidence shows the wife had a separate estate. It was not obtained from her husband. She had both personal and real estate. In her purchase of the land in question she not only gave a mortgage on that, but also on the portion which she had acquired from her mother. Her separate estate constituted the main credit on which she bought the land in contention. The law was ruled correctly.

Judgment affirmed.
