Supreme Court of Louisiana June 15, 1836 (Hawes v. Bryan)

Bullard, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

Several judgments having been recovered against Elizabeth Hawes, the wife of the appellee, an execution was levied on certain paraphernal rights of the wife in the hands of her husband, as evidenced by her receipt for $ 566 39, on account of her mother’s estate; and the appellant, William Hawes, became the purchaser at sheriff’s sale.
