Norfleet vs.; Hawkins. ,
li In the execution of a. power, ex
cept simply to effect a sale, no con
sideration is necessary.
2. There is no contract between the
donee of the power and the appoin
tee; the latter takes the estate as u
it had been conveyed directly to him
from the donor. - , v ;
vs. The doctrine of presumption of
fraud arising from fiduciary relations
na8 reference to contracts between the
narties. and aDDlies. to contracts be
tween husband and wife.
. 4 In tne appiication of the doc-
trine of presumption of fraud to the
execution, of a powerby a married
woman in xavorui uei uuisuLiuu,i.iicia
is a distinction between a power; ap
pendant and a power collateral. The
former is where the execution of' the
oower affects some interest or, estate
of the -donee; the. latter is a mere
naked power, which; does not' allect
his interests, ; but enables him to
create ari estate independent of, his
own., ' . . ' - . :' ' .
5. Where ' there is a contract be-twer-n
the-parties, or a feme covert,
m the exacution of a power in CaVer
of her husband,: aiiects some -estate
or interest of her own. there is nre
sumption of law that the transaction
is fraudulent, and the burden of
showing that it is fair and consciens
tious is on him who seeks Tr-support
it But when the transaction is the
execution of a mere naked power,the
law raises no oresumntion- of fraud '
but it is a question of fact to be de-
ciaea Dy tne jury upon the facts and
circumstances of each case. , -
Witt vr Long. .
1;. While it is , better and more
convenient to have the record prints
ed as soon as the case is docketed i n
the supreme court, and this practice
is commended by the court, yet it is
a compliance with the rule if t the
record is printed when , the case is
called in its order for argument :
2. Appellants should be careful to
see that the rule is duly observed in
respect to the parts of the record re
quired to be printed, as it is intimat
ed that a mere colorable compliance
will be treated as no compliance at
all, and the appeal dismissed. . : -
3, The statute does -not require
that justification of the surety on the
undertaking on appeal should state
that he is worth double the amount
of the undertakings above his liabili
ties and his homestead and exemp
tions allowed by law. - It is sufficient
if ,it state jthat he isorth double the
amount therein specified, i '
;s 4 Adjudgment by default final is
irregular in an action on an open ac
count for goods eold and delivered,
whero there is no express contract
alleged in . the .comDlaint. . but the
plai n tiff a only seek to recover on the
implied contract the reasonabla value
of their goods. In such case the
judgment should bo by: default and
inquiry. i . , , s . r '

only, be rendered when the complaint
is verified;, .v ' r- . . .
An Unfortunate "Make-Up." rr
New York World. - -- ' ' . , "
It is sad to. notice the reckless strain
in numan najure wnicp ls . responsi-
ble tor so many disastrous ;x;ombina-i;
tions of -otherwise useful, materials.
The dog and the Newark small boy,!
he bans cashier and the free pass to
Canada, the Alderman and the boos
dle,.the gun and the man who didn't,
know it was loaded all these separ
ately go to make up the' su m of hu
man happiness. , But once: combine
them or let them lay around loose in
close proximity to each other and the
whole beautiful cosmos is disar
ranged. ; - . "v j ' t ' , -
The most striking illustration: of
this truth is found in the publication
in juxtaposition of , two jottings of
news by the Village Item,, of Bucks
villePa.va few.days ago. lrHer are
. - . , ' .
inenems:
4fThe citizens of . Marbleton are

ble dogs, poisoned by some miscre-1
anL .,-... . i , r
''Butcher Segar, of ; Marbleton, an
nounces that 1 he has just made up a
large batch of hne sausages.-
Now there is nothing remarkable or
reprenensiuie in me lact mat ine cits
izens - of . Marbleton should : mourn
over the deaths of twenty dogs. . The
dog is a ; noble animal and is more
friendly to man than any other of the
brute creation, it reflects credit up
on the tender-hearted citizens of that
flourishing ' Village that 'they sorrows
ed many days. The. dog. is also a
friend of , science. Where .would
Pasteur- be today if there were no
dogs, f He would be nowhere and
