The Supreme court of Pennsylvania has de-
cided recently that husband has claim to the
possession Of any property owned byI his wife
previous to marriage or which may adjure to
her after marriage; and that even the consent of
the wife, that her husband should have posses
sion of her property, is Of no avail while the wife
is minor. This decision is based on the law of
l848, which has wrought radical change in the
condition Of married females
