Are Married Women NOnentifies at
Law i'm the District of COluubial


case Of peculiar interest was tried IN the
Circuit Court on Wednesday. The plaintiff,
MI. Alex. Gardner, by direction OF the defend
ant, Mrs. Senator Sprague, daughter OF the late
graphs OF the library of her father, the COM
mission Of President lincoln to her rather, &c.
all OF which met ner approval according to the
testimony of PLAINTIFFS witnesses. The plea set
up for not paying for the photographs Is that
she is a married woman and had no separate
estate. The distinguished defendant came into
court attended by General Sherman, and on
taking the stand made answer to her counsel
that she was married woman and did not own
any separate estate. On examination sep
arate estate was explained to her to be the es-
tate either personal or real which she had in
berited from her father and owned apart and
Independent Of her husband, Senator Sprague,
and she again stated that she owned no sepa-
rate estate In this District. Counsel for plain
till then produced In evidence the will OF the
late Chief Justice as recorded, which passed
only the personality, the will being faulty On
account Of being improperly witnessed. The
account OF personality showed over $4,000.
which was the separate property OF defendant
and her sister, Mrs. Hoyt. The testimony of
defendant, 1t is held, should have been given
before Congress passed the act exempting
Edgewood from payment of taxes, as In the face
OF her Own testimony that she did not own
separate estate In this District, that body would
hardly have exempted the property OF Cover
nor Spfague. The court held that Mrs Sprague
was a n0nentfty In law, and as matter OF
curse the plaintiff lost his suit. W. p Bell for
plaintiff, and Merrick Morris for defendant.

whom they may be located, and quoted the
