were one by the old common Law that ont
was invariably the husband. But this legal &c
ticn of their being one has vanished since tn,
enactment of statutes enlarging and increas
ing the rights of a married woman and max
ing her in many respects an independen
legal identity. While her rights have beel
extended her liabilities have been correspond
ingly increased.
