'AUGUSTA, O-A.:
Friday Morning, October, 8, 1875.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, Ga.,
October 5, 1875. —Hon. Hiram
Warner, Chief Justice—lions. L. E.
Bleckley and James Jackson, Judges.
[From the Atlaulu Constitution.]
Abner P. Wimberly vs. Robt. S. Bryan.
Assumpsit, from Talbot.
WARNER, C. J.
This was an action brought by the
plaintiff against the defendant on a pro
missory note for the sum of $3,000.00.
The defendant pleaded to the plaintiff’s
action, that said note was given in con
sideration of a verbal agreement made
by the plaintiff with the defendant for
the sale of certain described lots of
land, and was therefore void under the
provisions of the 1950th section of the
code. The defendant also pleaded, that
at the time of the making of the alleged
contract mentioned in plaintiff’s de
claration, he agreed to pay $4,000.00 for
the purchase of a tract of land, $1,000.00
in cash, and the balance of the pur
chase money to one Lewis Wimberly
upon a note made by plaintiff to said
Lewis Wimberiy, then in the hands of
Laura, the wife of plaintiff. The de
fendant also pleaded, that at the time
of the making the said supposed con
tract, it was agreed between plaintiff
and the defendant, and Lewis Wim
berly, and Laura Bryan, the wife of
plaintiff, that the defendant should pay
the $1,000.00 in cash for the land to the
plaintiff, and the balance to the said
Lewis Wimberly, etc. The plaintiff de
murred to the defendant’s pleas, the
court sustained the demurrer, and the
defendant excepted. The case was then
tried on the evidence contained in the
record, and the jury found a verdict
lor the plaintiff. The defendant
excepted to the charge of the court,
which was iu substance as follows:
That if the plaintiff agreed to sell the
laud mentioned to defendant, and de
fendant paid 81,000 of the purchase
money, and agreed to pay 83,000 more,
and if plaintiff put defendant iu pos
session of the land, and he still retains
possession of it, that then this was
such a part performance of said con
tract as took the same without the
operatiou of the statute of frauds, al
though said coutract was hot reduced
to writing, and no memorandum in
writing of the same was made and
signed by the parties to be charged
therewith, and the plaintiff would be
entitled to recover the balance of the
purchase money agreed to be paid for
the land. There was no error in sus
taining the demurrer to the second and
fourth pleas of the defendant. It is not
alleged in the pleas that Lewis Wim
berly had such an interest iu the plain
tiff's note us would entitle him to be
paid the money due thereon, to the
exclusion of the plaintiff’s right to
collect and receive it. In other words,
the pleas do not allege that Lewis
Wimberly had such a vested interest
in the $3,000 due on the note, by virtue
of any valid contract made with the
plaintiff, as would entitle him to re
ceive it from the defendant, to the ex
clusion of the plaintiff’s right to do so,
if he thought proper to collect it in his
own name, and to revoke any r authori
ty given to Lewis Wimberly to receive
it. In view of the evidence in the re
cord, there was no error in the charge
of the court to the jury.
Let the judgment of the court below
be affirmed.
E. H. Worrill, M. H. Blandford, for
plaintiff in error.
Willis & Willis, H. L. Benning, for de
fendant.
Sarah M. Brown vs. Elizabeth Kim
brough, administratrix. Equity, from
Talbot.
WARNER, C. J.
This was a bill filed by the complain
ant against the defendant, praying for
a decree that certain described lands
therein specified, might be turned over
to her, and that the defendant account
to her for the rents and profits thereof.
On the tiial of the case the jury, un
der the charge of the court, found a
verdict in favor of the defendant. The
case is brought here on a bill of excep
tions to the rulings of the court below.
The complainant claims title to the
land in controversy, under a deed
made by Wm. M. Brown, administrator
of Shelton, to Jack Brown, trustee for
complainant, Jack Brown being her
husband. This deed is dated 2d Nov.,
1858. It appears from the evidence
iu the record that the complainant
and her husband, Jack Brown, con
veyed the land by deed on the 7th of
May, 1861, to Kimbrough, the de
fendant, for the consideration of $lB,-
000. The court charged the jury
amongst other things, “If Jack Brown
and his wife made and executed the
deed in evidence purporting to be made
by them to Kimbrough, such deed con
veyed to Kimbrough all the interest
which they or either of them had in
the lands, and if such is the case, Kim
brough is not liable to account to the
complainant.” The complainant’s coun
sel requested the court iu writing to
charge the jury that “A married woman
cannot by tne ordinary deed of convey
ance dispose of her separate property,
if the sale be of real estate; and ii Mrs.
Brown, being a married woman, made
the deed set out in defendant’s answer,
then Kimbrough got no title to the
same and no right by which he could
hold the land in opposition to Mrs.
Brown. This request to charge, the
court refused. Whereupon the com
plainant excepted to the charge as
given to the jury, and to the refusal to
charge as requested. But two ques
tions were insisted on iu the argument
here. First, as to the right of a mar
ried woman to convey her separate
estate iu land by the ordinary deed of
conveyance. Second, if she can do so,
then the deed must be executed as pro
vided by the 2d section of the Act of
1760. Cobbs Digest 161. In our judg
ment a married woman in this
State, who has a separate estate in
land, may dispose of the same by the
ordinary deed of conveyance. Such a
disposition of her real estate is a neces
sary incident to her ownership of that
species of property as well as of any
other personal property, the more
especially as real and personal property
in this State, is placed on the same
footing as to distribution. When the
decisions referred to on the argument
■were made by this court in relation to
the power of a femme covert to disposo
of her separate estate iu personal
property, there was one species personal
property at that time which was con
sidered much more important and val
uable to the owners thereof, than real
estate, and yet it was held that she
could dispose of her separate estate in
that} particular species of personal
property. In this State we are unable
to perceive any sound distinction in
principle between her power of disposi
tion of her separate estate in personal
property and her separate estate in real
property. In regard to the second ques
tion insisted on by the plaintiff in error,
the act of 1760 only applies to such con
veyances of real estate by the husband
of the femme covert as she has or may
have an interest in, and not to convey
ances of her separate property of which
she is the sole oumer. If she joins her
husband in a conveyance of his proper
ty in which he has an interest as his
wife by reason of that relation, then in
£>rder to make her relinquishment of
that right valid, it must be executed in
accordance with the requirements of
that act—and such was the ruling of
this court in Seabrook vs. Brady, 47th
Geo. Rep. 651. In that case. Mrs. Brady
signed a relinquishment to land con
veyed by the deed of her husband as
his property to Dawsoo. The act of
1760 has no application to a convey
ance made by el femme covert of her sep
arate property as the absolute owner
thereof, and was not intended to have
any. We find no error in the rulings
of the court as set forth in the bill of
exceptions. Let the judgment of the
court below be affirmed.
Blandford & Garrard ; H. L. Ben
ning ; McCay & Trippe, for plaintiff In
error.
Willis & Willis; E. H. Worrill, for
defendant.
Guild’s Signal.
BY BRET HAUTE.
I.
Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
That was the signal the engineer—
That was the signal that Guild, ’tis said,
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town, and thence
Out in the night,
On to the light,
Down past the farms lying white he sped.
11.
Asa husband’s greeting, scant no doubt,
Yet to the woman looking out,
Watching and waiting no serenade,
Love song or midnight roundelay,
Said what that whistle seemed to say:
“ To my trust true,
So love to you,
Working or waiting, Good-night!” It said.
hi.
Brisk young bagmen,-tourists fine,
Oid commuters along the line,
Rrakemen and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows of- Providence
“ Nothing amiss—
Nothing—it is
Only Guild calling his wife,” they said.
IV.
Summer and winter, the old refrain
Liang o’er the billows of ripening grain,
Pierced through the budding boughs
o’erhead,
Flew down the track where the red leaves
burned,
Like living coals from the engine spurned,
Sang as it flew:
“To our trust true.
First of all Duty—Good-night,’’ it said,
v.
And then one night, it was heard no more,
From Stonington o’er Rhode Island shore;
And the folk in Providence smiled and
said,
As they turned in their beds: “ The engi
neer
Has once forgotten his midnight cheer.”
One only knew—
To his trust true,
Guild lay under his engine—dead.
