A husband who was in straits, pledged his wife's gold watch, &c. for the loan of money, six months before his death, which the wife did not quarrel at that time. The Lords, because of these circumstances, presumed the wife's knowledge and consent, and sustained the pledge; though they thought in general, that a husband's possession of his wife's paraphernalia is not sufficient to enable him to impignorate or dispose of them.
