Syllabus

<p>Where the wife had filed the inventory of community property contemplated by the 3d section of the act of 1856, supplementary to the act defining marital rights, and retained possession of the property, she was not absolutely liable for the community debts, but the property was liable to the extent of its value under proper averments; and it was error to render a personal judgment and order execution against the widow, as though the debt were her own. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 4648.)</p>
