1. ““A wife furnished one half the money from her separate estate for the purchase of a farm, under an agreement between her and her husband, who furnished the other half, that they should be equal owners. The legal title remained in a third person as security for unpaid purchase money, but a bond for a deed had been executed to a prior purchaser, which was assigned to the husband, who promised, on his wife’s objecting when she learned such fact, that the deed should be made to both. While the title stood in such condition the husband became a bankrupt. Held, that the wife was not es-topped to claim and recover her interest in the land as against the general creditors of her husband by the condition of the title or by any representations by him as to Ms sole ownership, made without her consent or knowledge, whether the question be determined by the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia or of the Supreme Court of the United States.””
