since, 1t Will be remembered, Judge Humph-
reys, holding the Equity Court made decision
In the case Of Smith agt. Tome, involving the
rights OF married women. An appeal was taken
TO the Court in Generul Term. and a few weeks
ago the Judgment was set aside, and the case
remanded. 1t was then referred to Judge Hag-
ner. and few days ago he gave his decision
In this case the complainant filed bill for an
injunction to restrain the sale of certain prop
elty under deed Of trust made by her and her
husband, to secure amounts borrowed from de
fendant. 1t was averred in the bill that the in
junction should have been made perpetual, be-
cause the property was the separate es-
tate OF the wife, and the trust was Gre
ated to raise money to pay the debts
OF the husband. Judge Hagner says, concedIny
the truth of the avermentS, they con Stitute No
sufficient ground for the relief sought, ami
such opinion is entirely in accord With former
rulings of this court upon this Identical point
He cites the case OF Stewart agt Albert, Ia
which the same question was raised as also
OLeary agt Dyer. He quotes from the supreme
court of the United States in the case OF Ste
phen agt. Beall in 22d Wallace, page 3s7, that
married woman may join her husband and con-
Vey away interest In real estate, and ssThe doc

charge her separate estate with the payment of
her husbands debts or any other debt con-
tracted by her as principal or as security. has

dissolved with COSTS

Un comunicante de Ell Agente dice
que entire los cinco concejales que para
completar el ayuntamiento de Bayamon
nombro el Gobierno General hay tres
que no reunen las cualidades que Ia ley
exige para el cargo, y en- su apoyo cita
los artlculos Al y 46 de la Ley Munich
pal.
Extranamos que los que eligieron los
Municipios radicales de 1873, respecto
a los cuales probamos que un solo con-
tribuyente correligionario nuestro pa
gaba en- cada localidad mas que ell Ayun-
tamiento reformista entero, vergan aho.
ra & torturar la ley para probar su
manera que los ahora nombrados care
cen de las cualidades y de IL instruc-
cion necesaria para ell case.
El art. Al habla de los eleqtbles y no
de los mombrobles, y el 46 sereiere 4 las
a'0c0ntes n0turdles que ocurran ningu-
no de estos casos es igual al presente.
Ell Gobernador General ha llamado
dos veces los electores q, las urnss,
advirtiendo en- la segunda que 81 no ha-
clan uso de su derecho, estaba autoriza-
do para nombrar por 81 mismo, como case
extraordinario no previsto por la ley, los
concejales que faltasen. Asi SO hizo y
en- nuestro concepto el Gobierno General
no ten1a obligation alguna de observar
un precepto quo para este case no exis-
to en- la ley. Ademas convene que en-
los Municipios est6n representadas to-
das las classes contribuyentes Y los NOM
brados 10 son, y no carecen de la ins-
truccion necesaria para ell case.
Ell Gobierno no ha infringido, pues,
ley alguna, y estamos seguros de que
81 fueran reformistas los agraciados no
tendrlan falta alguna para el Sr. A. F.
