Babbitt v. Morrison

58 N.H. 419

• Court: Supreme Court of New Hampshire
• Decided: August 5, 1878
• Status: Published

Opinion

Doe, C. J.

The statute in force when the mortgage was made was an enabling, not a disabling, act. It enlarged the common-law rights of a married woman, but did not abridge her power to charge her separate estate with the payment of her husband’s debts. The plaintiffs are entitled to judgment.

Case discharged.

Foster, J., did not sit.
