Contract, of Married Women.


Tho case of Richie VS.. Hyatt, decided by
the court in general term yesterday, is of con.
siderable interest aud Importance to the prop.
erty holders of this community, as involving
the question Of personal liability of a married
woman upon her bond given for the purchase
money of real estate. The suit was personal
action upon the money bond Of the defendant,
given for the purchase money of real estate,
which was conveyed to her at the time the
bond was executed and delivered. The defend
ant was married woman, owning real estate
as her separate property at the time of the pur-
chase. The question arose upon the defend
ants demurrer, and was entirely new to this
Jurisdiction. The court held that our statute
does not authorize married woman to pur-
chase real estate upon credit that such con-
tract Is not contract "in relation to her sole
and separate property" that her personal OBJ
legation given for the purchase money is not
binding upon her, and that judgment must be
entered for the defendant. Mr. Lowndes for
