Syllabus

<p>1. Married Woman. Lachen. Estoppel.</p> <p>A married woman, who, with her husband, gives a trust-deed on her property to secure a debt for goods therein contracted to be advanced to both, and where joint accounts are rendered her at the time, cannot, eight years after a sale thereunder and a recovery from her of the property by legal proceedings, impeach the sale by showing an arrangement with her husband under which he was to cultivate her lands for his own benefit, so that only the income of her property would be liable under the code of 1871.</p> <p>2. Acquiescence in Mortgage Sade. Lapse of time.</p> <p>Nor can one, in such case, complain that the goods were charged at exorbitant prices; that proper credits had not been given, and the like. Having raised no objection to the accounts as rendered, and having taken no steps to prevent a sale while the matter was in fieri, after such a lapse of time, there being no concealment of facts, she will not be permitted to vacate the sale and re-open the transactions; and this although the beneficiary himself is the purchaser.</p>
