IMPORTANT OPINION OF JUDGE KREBS, In legal circles there has been a ques: tion as to the meaning of, whatis khowa as the Married Womans Act of 1 ~~ EY Judge Krebs, of Clearfield, has been the first to pass his opinion npon the law. The case was argued before him about two weeks ago, at Bellefonte, and his opinion was filed on Monday. The case was that of Penus V, bank obtaining a note from « married woman for a debt of her husband which she did not assist in contracting and of which sbe had no knowledge, and which was not contrac- ted for necessaries in the family, The note obtained from her was what is termed a “tight note” and was at once entered up against her, Judge Krebs holds that under the aot of 1887 the note was not valid and the judgement was opened absolute, that the law contemplates a married woman can not be held re-ponsible, even upon a note given by herself, for a debt of her bhusband’s contracting. The Judge render- ad this opinion upoa the law alone and without reference to the acts of coercion as set forth in ber testimony, in the ab- sence of her husband, as he states in his decision. As this is the first jo tion of the act of 1887, it will be of gens eral interest and will attract attention from the legal fraternity. ne nl fr Mp dicial interpreta- A SIGN FOR SHORT CROPS.
