Syllabus

<p>1. Married woman—separate property of, used by husband, not thereby subjected to payment of his debts. The fact that the husband uses and enjoys the separate property of the wife, and out of it procures the means for the support of his family, does not render such property liable for the debts of the husband.</p> <p>2. So, where the husband was a printer, and the wife invested money arising from the sale of her separate property, derived from a source other than her husband, in types and printing machinery, which wuis used and managed by the husband in his business as a printer, from which he procured the means of support for his family, it was held., that the property was not liable for the debts of the husband, but was as completely protected as if it had been the property of a stranger.</p>
