NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
As to Wife,s Liability.

MT. Chief Justice Bum delivered the opinion in the supreme court ln the case of Crenshaw vs. Collier. In this case the court below instruct ed the jury, among other things, as follows: "The court instructs the jury that wife cannot make a val i'd note as security for her husband, and if you believe from the evidence in this case that the $2,000 note, dated July 15, 1898, signed by Thos. B. Collier and Laura Collier in ia vor of the defendants was given to secure a debt by Thos. B. Collier, then the same is void as to the plain tiff, Laura Collier, and created no right of action in the defendant, Crenshaw, against the plaintiff, Lau- "a Collier" {" The evidence in this case shows that the $2,000 note was given for the purpose of securing the payment of the dues and premiums of the insurance policy of Laura Collier and infant daughter of her self and Thos. B. Collier. In other words, it inured to the benefit of Laura Collier. In his opinion MT. Chief Justice Bum said: ''It is not the law that a married woman's promissory note given for such pur- poses is invalid. She can bind her self by that means, for, in the true sense, it is not the husbands debt, but rather an obligation of his to insure beneficial provision for his wife and child. Therefore the low CT court erred in its instructions to the jury, and the case is reversed and remanded."
