Thomas v. Weaver

<p>In an action against husband and wife to enforce the specific performance of a contract to convey land, a-plea by the wife that complainant refused to carry out the agreement unless she executed a like agreement, which she did, without consideration and solely to answer for the default of her husband in carrying out said agreement, is a good defence to an action against her under the statute (Mev. tit. “Married Women” \ 5) providing that no married woman shall be liable on a promise to answer for the default of another.</p>
