Syllabus

<p>Husband and wife- — Property of wife in the hands of husband — Evidence. In an action against the husband’s administrator by a wife’s executor to recover money of the wife, a verdict for the plaintiff will be sustained where the evidence tends to show that the wife had a separate estate at the time of her marriage; that the husband collected the wife’s money from her debtors, and that the wife had on a number of occasions demanded from her husband a mortgage or judgment to secure her money, and there was no evidence that he had ever paid over to her the money collected.</p>
