Syllabus

<p>1. Minors—creditors of parent no claim on labor. A father has no present valuable property in the future labor of his minor son, and does not, by the emancipation of the son, withdraw from his creditors any property or fund to which they are legally entitled for the payment of his debts.</p> <p>2. Married women—money advanced to pay for property conmeyed to wife prior to 1861. Money advanced by minor children to pay for property conveyed to their mother, prior to the Marrried Woman’s Enabling Act of 1861, did not so become the property of the mother as the owner thereof, that the title to it vested in her husband.</p> <p>3. Same—money paid to the wife for board. Neither the husband nor his creditors have any claim upon money paid to the wife by persons boarding with them, since the act of 1861, for their board, where it appears she was the meritorious cause.</p>
