Friedberg v. Parker
Synopsis
Cbedit to Wife on Faith of heb Sepabate Estate.—The amendment of May 12,1862, to the act of 1850 defining the rights of husband and wife, freed the personal estate of the wife from the rule laid down in Maday v. Love (25 Cal. 367), and since the amendment, a court of equity will enforce a lien on the wife’s separate personal estate for supplies furnished her to be used in the care of such estate, and upon the credit of the same.
By the Court: 1. No objection is taken by the appellant to the form in which the judgment was entered, as being against the entire assets of the estate, and not limited to that portion of them which were of the personal (as contradistinguished from the read) estate of the wife; nor is it suggested that [105]the personal property is insufficient to satisfy all debts or claims against her estate.
2. The amendment of May 12, 1862 (p. 518), freed the personal estate of the feme from the rule laid down in Maclay v. Love (25 Cal. 367), and as to liens and charges upon such estate the principles of the preceding case of Miller v. Newton (23 Cal. 554) apply.
Judgment and order affirmed.
