Pleading. — In an action brought on the promissory note of a deceased husband, who left no children surviving him, against his widow, who had converted the community of greater value than the amount of the debt, that fact being alleged, it is not necessary for plaintiff to allege that the community property was property other than that which is reserved from forced sale under the Constitution and laws. If the property converted was exempt from seizure and sale for debts under the law, that is matter of defense which should be stated in the answer.</p> <p>2. Verdict. — See statement of case for a verdict held sufficient.</p>
