Syllabus by the Court.

The evidence authorized the verdict.

The charge of the court to the jury, that "a wife has the right to assume the debts of the husband after his death, if she so chooses," was not erroneous. Mize v. Hawkins, 54 Ga. 501; Walker v. Walker, 139 Ga. 547, 77 S.E. 795 (7a).

The request to review and reverse the decisions just cited has been considered and is denied.

Error from Superior Court, Bibb County; H. A. Mathews, Judge.

Action between Maria Booker and others, and A. T. Small & Sons. Judgment for the latter, and the former bring error. Affirmed.

H. F. Strohecker, of Macon, for plaintiffs in error.

E. B. Weatherly, of Macon, for defendants in error.
