Syllabus

<p>1. Witness—widow a competent witness to protect hmx sepa/rate property. Where the litigation involves the separate property of the wife, she is made a competent witness to protect the same, and the fact that her husband is dead, will not render her incompetent as a witness against his administrator, when her property is replevied in a suit by a party claiming under her, against the administrator of her husband’s estate.</p> <p>' 2. Married women—use of her property by husband. The fact that a married woman allows her husband to have a general use and control over her personal property, such use and control being of a character consistent with their common interests, and the proper enjoyment of it by both, will not make it liable for his debts, or entitle his administrator to claim the same as against her mortgagee.</p>
