Syllabus

<p>Married women — Security for husband — Judgment—Opening judgment.</p> <p>A judgment entered against a married woman on a judgment note will be opened on the ground that it was given as security for the debt of the defendant’s husband, where it appears that the husband having bought a store from plaintiff was unable to pay a balance of purchase money; that the plaintiff caused the judgment note to be prepared for the amount of the balance, and procured the defendant to sign it and deliver it'to him, in consideration for which he gave his check for the amount, to the order of the defendant, and the defendant thereupon indorsed the check, handed it to her husband, and he in turn passed it on to the plaintiff in payment of the balance due for the store.</p>
