Syllabus

<p>Married women — Principal and surety — Borrowing money— Judgment — Opening judgment.</p> <p>1. While a married woman may not become surety for her husband, there is no law to prevent her paying his debts, or giving him money to use in his business, even though she may have borrowed it.</p> <p>2. Where a husband and wife sign a judgment note, on which judgment is entered, the wife cannot have the judgment opened as to her, where the court finds as a fact, upon sufficient evidence, that she signed the note as a borrower, and not as surety for her husband.</p>
