No. 7564.
    D. R. Carroll vs. Mrs. Barrière & Husband.
    A married woman is considered a public merchant when she carries on a separate trade, and this implies an active participation on her part in the business, and personal conduct of it by her, and hence to render her liable for goods purchased, it must appear that the goods were in the line of her trade, and were not for the husband’s use.
