Head Matter:
Rebecca J. Mize, plaintiff in error, vs. Willis A. Hawkins et al., defendants in error.
1. Section 1783 of the Code, declaring void the contracts of a wife which bind her separate estate for the debts of her husband, does not affect the power of a widow to contract with reference to such debts after his death.
2. The testimony at the hearing for the injunction having been conflicting as to the main issue, to-wit: the consideration of the note, it was a matter for the chancellor to determine, and there was no abuse of his discretion calling for the interference of this court.

Opinion:
Trippe, .Judge.
