Court of Appeals of Kentucky September 23, 1870 (Woodhead v. Foulds)

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTSON

delivered the opinion oe the court.

It satisfactorily appears in this case that, in taking the acknowledgment of the wife of the deed mortgaging her own land to secure her husband’s debt, the clerk, who certified only that she acknowledged the deed before him, neither read nor explained it to her, and that the husband was present when her acknowledgment was taken.
