A wife may exercise acts of ordinary administration with regard to her own property, without her husband's consent; but without his express concurrence, she cannot dilapidate or alienate, whether onerously or gratuitously; and therefore a married woman at her own hand, impledging her paraphernalia for security of money borrowed by her, was found null, and rei vindicatio sustained to her representatives against the creditor, without being obliged to pay the debt. See Appendix.—The contrary found, No 172. P. 5970.
