Appeal from Chancery Court of Prentiss
county, Hon. L. Haughton, Chancellor.
Mrs. Millor executed deed of trust on
her separate estate jointly with her husband
to secure his debt to Mrs Stephenson. The
debt not boing paid the land was sold and
Mrs. Stephenson bought it; she brought
ejectment for possession and got Judgment.
Writ having issued to place her in possess
sion, this bill was brought TO enjoin the
execution of tie writ and to cancel the deed
of the trustee. The bill claims that credi-
tor of the husband holding deed of trust
or mortgage upon the separate estate of the
wife is never entitled to possession Of the
property but must resort to a court of
chancery and have it placed in the hards of
a receiverso that the income may thus be
applied to the payment of the debt.

Hitherto the great object seems to have been to
have some International coin to express CON-
mon unit OF value This was the desire Of the
