"A married woman is not liable at common law upon her contracts, and as no statute according to the construction elven to our married women's act, covers the cuso of the rlalntlff, It must be dccl- ded that ho cannot recover, although hi claim is one that it seems ought, in good conscience, to be paid" The-decision of the supreme court in the cuso Is accompa nied by an elaborate opinion, delivered by Judge Slerrett, who says i "It appears that tho non-sult was entered on the broad grouud that a married woman, owning lu her own right n Improved farm, Is Inca- puble of binding her separate estato by a contract for service necessarily required n,l rnn.Wd In linrvcsllnir. houseimr and markctlnir. for her benefit, tho growing crops on said farm. As a legal proposition this tannot bo sustained, in view or tne express provisions of the apt ot 1848 as to the separate ownership of property by mar rled women, and Implied powers neces sarily Incident to such ownership, the authority of Mrs. Kpsl)b to make the pontrapl In question appears to be so manifest that it scarcely admits ot any doubt, While, perhaps, tho precise qucs. tlon now presented hits never beeu dls. tlnctly ruled, tho underlying principle Is so conclusively seltled, that It Is ot easy ap plication to the undisputed facts of this case.
