Important Decision. Among the decisions by the Supreme Court ol I'enns Ivsnia, silting at Harris burg, is the lullowiRg reported in the Tele graph : Gamble vs Gamble niactt, C. J. The declaration of an insolvent husband can not, under any circumstance, be evtdence for the wile as to theownership of properly. When -property is claimed by a married woman, she must show by evidence which does not admit a reasonable doubt, either that she owned it at tue time of the mar riage, or acquired !t afterwards by gift, j bequest or purchase. If the husband could create title to personal properly in the w(fe by merely saying it is hers, no cr--dnir would be safe for a single mo ment. It is not easy to conceive how higher premium for dishonesty could be. uilered. ihe relation oi nustmna 03 , wne m so ...u .wy ' i their interests so absolute, that even the oa h ol either is oot and ought not to be liken in favor of the other.
