EXECUTIVE MESSAGE.
SrArK OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department.
New Orleans, March l. l87l.)
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
Herewith return without my approval
~
Louisa Bourgeois. wife of Thomas Taq,ino.
to mortgage or ALLEVIATE her dotal prop
erty."
1t is the policy of the law to protect mar
ried women against the influence of their
Husbands, so far AS the disposition and i'll
cumbrance of their separate property Is con-
ccrned. DOtal property can not be mort
gagged except i'll the special Gases pointed
ont by law. When the wife desires to mort
gage her separate property for her indl'
vidual benefit. she is allowed to d" so by
the eristing laws, on complying with the
forms prescribed. and satisfying the dis
trict Judge of her domicile that the transac-
ton she intends to enter into is really for
her separate advantage.
Why, then. should separate law be
passed to enable Mrs. TaquinO to mortgage
her property. unless it be for the benefit of
her husband or the community! And ii so,
l can not sanction private statute which
has for its sole object to withdraw the gen
eral protection OF the law from this lady in
particular. II. c. WAPMOTH,
Governor of Louisiana.
