MARRIED WOMEN.
Mr. Kerr's bill [H. R. 219] concerning husband and wife (the wife may acquire property in any way, by her means or individual efforts, and it shall remain her own separate property as if unmarried), was read the third time.
Mr. KERR said this was prepared by the Revision Committee, and was recommended by them. It enlarges the rights of married women. It is a bill that is in every country eminently just and proper, and ought to commend itself to the members of this House.
The bill passed--yeas, 71;, nays 13.
