Supreme Court of Louisiana July 15, 1858 (Davis v. Compton)

Cole, J.

The sole question in this case is, whether the property acquired during marriage is liable to be seized and sold on execution, to pay a judgment obtained against the husband before marriage.

Art. 2372 C. C. declares, that “ the debts of both husband and wife anterior to the marriage, must be acquitted out of their own personal and individual effects.
