Syllabus

<p>1. Married Women — Judgment—Mortgage.—It being conceded that the alleged debtor was a married woman when she executed a note, which was reduced to judgment and included with another note in a mortgage after-wards executed, and the married woman having denied the validity of these debts, and the creditor having offered no evidence to show that they did concern the woman’s separate estate, both judgment and mortgage were properly held to be invalid.</p> <p>2. Findings of Fact by the Circuit Judge from testimony taken by a referee, and reported to the court in writing, approved.</p> <p>3. Volunteer — Exceptions raised by a party to the cause to portions of the decree that can, in no event, affect his interests, will not be considered, he being as to such matters a volunteer.</p>
