Syllabus

<p>Practice, C. P. — Statement of claim — Receiver—Suit by receiver — Record.</p> <p>In a suit brought by a receiver in the court which appointed him, the statement of claim will not be held insufficient, because it merely refers to the record of the proceedings appointing the receiver. The statement need not have attached to it a copy of the whole record.</p> <p>Married woman — Promissory notes — Surety for husband — Moral consideration.</p> <p>A promissory note given by a married woman as surety for her husband’s debt, although legally invalid, imports a moral consideration, which will be sufficient to support a renewal note given by the married woman after her husband’s death; and this is the case although the renewal note was of a date prior to the husband’s death, if it appears that there was no fraud in the transaction.</p>
