   Opinion by

Campbell, C. J,

Franklin loaned to Foster’s wife $35 on her promise to mention the circumstance to her husband, but she neglected to do so. Afterwards. Franklin had a settlement, of his dealings with Foster in which this loan, at the request of the wife, was not mentioned. Subsequently, and without ever calling upon Foster for'the money, Franklin sued him to recover it. The Circuit Court rendered judgment for the plaintiff. This Court reversed it, as wholly unwarranted by any legal principle.
