Syllabus

<p>1. Where a wife in good faith takes a judgment from her husband for an amount which she at the time believes to be due to her, the judgment may be maintained against her husband’s creditors, even though it may be in excess of the amount actually due: Meckley’s App., 102 Pa. 536.</p> <p>2. In such ease, it is error for the court to charge that if the judgment was in excess of the amount actually due, and the wife ought to have known it, or there was reasonable ground for her knowing it, she could be visited with the fraud of her husband.</p>
