Yesterday, in the Court in General Term, the
case of Henry f. Frankenberg against Max
Weyl, trading under the name ani style of
Mrs Max Weyl, to recover S3i1.19 for mer-
shandise, was argued. MIR. III. W. Garnett ap-
peared for the plaintiff and Mr. " H Miller for
the defendant. The defense was non-indcbted-
ness, the defendant declaring that he never
name. nor did she manage or conduct any busi-
ness for him. nor act as his agent in purchasing
goods, nor had she any authority So to act. y
verdict was given for plaintiff below, and the
case now comes up exceptions to the evil
dence and the charge. The important question
involved is how far married woman can go in
conducting business on her own capital without
affecting the husbands responsibility. The
court in its charge said that where the husband
knows that the wife is carrying ON IL business,
purchasing and selling goods and mourning
debts, whether she has separate estate or Dot,
unless he notifies the persons with whom she is
dealing or stops her, he must be held RESPONSE
BILE.
MAKING 1T CoST MORE TO DIE THAN To
LIvE.-In the Probate Court, some DAYS ago,
the account OF r. a. Phillips, surviving exec
utor of the estate OF the late Robert Tenant
Shaw. In 1879 Mr. Shaw died here, leaving
Mr. Phillips and his brother, since deceased, ex-
ecutors- The estate amounted To over $50, 900.
and the executors were allowed q commission
of eight per cent. There was disbursed in SET
Ting the estate TOR lawyers ices in a number of
cases i sum. and exceptions were taken to the
allowance OF these fees. The court said that the
law intended that probate proceedings should
be simple, and that estates should not be
entailed with lawyers fees. These We're usually
out OF all proportion, making il cost more TO
die here than TO live, and ne thought the sum
OF S4,213.11 allowed for commissions should
cover all expenses, and sustained the excep-
tions.
