WOMEN's CONTRACTS.
Point of Law Decided i'm the

lax .JIalge PhQlDS. :

4 novel and interesting law point
has been decided in the Baltimore
Court of Common Pleas by Judge
Phelps Ii was question as to suit>
against married women and was raised
for the first time in this state.
The suit was brought against Mrs
Hannah I. Greene and her husband
on promissory note made by Mrs.
Greene when she lived in Pennsvlvan-
ia. where such notes are valid. After
ward she removed to Baltimore. As
Il married woman may only be sued
in Maryland ON joint contracts signed
by herself and husband the sHit wa
lemurred TO.
1t was claimed for Lydia Z Reese
and Others, who brought the suit, that
Maryland law does not apply to con
tracts in States such as Pennsylvania
New York or Massachusetts, where
contracts made by married woman
are valid. Where contract is com
plete in the State, it was argued, th.
courts of another State will furnish Il
remedy unless its enforcement w.ul,l
'e against public morals or against
msitive statute, or where all the com.
non law disabilities Of the wife exist
ed.
The court sustained this view and
,verruled the demurrer.
Under this decision, il is said, Il
