Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Review—Harmless Error. Error in sustaining an objection to testimony is harmless where the witness was immediately thereafter permitted to answer a similar question.</p> <p>Husband and Wipe — Actions—Verdict. In an action against a husband and wife for personal injuries sustained through the act of the husband, a verdict against the defendant “et ux” is sufficient to sustain a judgment against the community.</p> <p>Same — Community Debt — Actions — Judgment. A judgment against a husband and wife “and each of them” for a community debt is broad enough to be construed as a personal judgment against the wife, and will be modified to run against the property of the husband and the community property of the husband and wife.</p>
