Is the land thus: conveyed ImbleJor the debt ?\n\"We can' scarcely see any room for argumentation except \u00a9n the theory that a feme covert can not sell or charge her separate estate for her own benefit, or the improvement of her own. property. This, would go much beyond the purpose of the liberal legislation of the State in favor of married women, and would be highly judicial to their material, interests.\nThe cases to which we were referred\u2014Purvis v. Carstaphan, 73 N. C., 575; Pippen v. Wesson, 74 N. C., 437; and Atkinson v. Richardson, Ib. 455\u2014were contracts for the benefit of the husband, or her estate was not charged. In the latter case there was. n.o express charge on the land, and it was sought to be charged by implication, but this was not allowed. It was there said that \u201c a married woman may purchase property for ready money, but not on credit ; and she may contract debts for the benefit of separate property which she, already owns, as for building a house on the premises,^ &c.\nLet it be certified that there is no error, and let the sale proceed according to the agreement of the parties.\nNo error.
