¶1I concur in this opinion on the last ground; but I am not prepared to say, that where a married woman is a party to a bill, and does not express any wish that the court should settle her property on herself, that *it ought to be withheld from the creditors of the husband upon the application of a stranger, without any inquiry being made whether it is by her authority or desire.
¶2Decree reversed.
