By the Court, Sawyer, C. J. :

The appeal is from the ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‍judgment in an action on a promissory note, without any statement. It does not appear when the payment on the ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‍note, admitted and allowed, was made, and it is, therefore, impossible to tell from the judgment roll whether the judgment is ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‍for too large a sum or not.

The only other point made, is, that the common property of husband and wife ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‍is not liable for the sole debt of the wife, created before her marriage. But it is otherwise settled in Van ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‍Maren v. Johnson, 15 Cal. 308.

Judgment affirmed, and the remittitur directed to issue forthwith.
