extension.-De Barrera v. Frost (Tex. Civ.
App.) 476.

The insolvency of a husband does not affect

ges her property which stands as surety for
the debt.-De Barrera v. Frost (Tex. Civ. App.)

wife are a gift, in the absence of evidence to
show such intention.-Collins v. Bryan (Tex.
Civ. App.) 432.

In a suit by a wife to cancel a deed of trust
