Rights Of a Married Woman,

An interesting opinion, involving the
rights uf a married woman. was given
in the Court Of Appeals at Richmond
last week in the casa OF Hirth VS.. Hirth.
from the Law and Equity Court Of the
city OF Richmond. The plaintiff In
error insists that the court below erred
in overruling her dem murre. The deola'
ration shows on Its face that the prom
ise sued on was made by married
woman, during oonverture, to assume
the debt Of her husband. The ground
of the demurrer Is that the declaration
doef not aver thai. the plaintiff in error
owned q separate estate at the time the
promised sued on was entered into. the
contention being that such an allega-
tion is essential because she had no
power to make the alleged contract un.
less she did own a separate estate. The
opinion, holds that married woman
is now. as at common. incapable OF
making q contract, unless she owns
separate estate at the time the contract
Is made. The demurrer is sustained.
The case Is remanded for q new trial ,
with leave to defendant in error to
amend her declaration.
