Syllabus

<p>Husband and Wife. Agents. Sufficiency of evidence.</p> <p>Where a husband while in business for himself contracted a debt with a merchant and pledged certain goods as security and after failing in business conducted business for his wife and while so managing her business gave the merchant certain checks to redeem the goods, which went into the wife’s business, and also contracted for the wife another debt with the same party and on being sued for the last debt the wife defended on the ground that her husband had no authority to apply her checks to his debt, but that the same should be applied to her own account, it was error in such case to give a peremptory instruct tion for the wife as the evidence was sufficient to put her upon proof.</p>
