Bills And Notes - Promissory Notes - Negotiability At Common Law
Michigan Law Review
Defendant contractors left a check for materialmen in the hands of a third party who appropriated the check to his own use and then, in lieu thereof, gave his own note to the materialmen who endorsed it to a bank and credited the contractors with the amount of the note. In an action by the materialmen against the contractors for services rendered and materials furnished, held, such acceptance and negotiation constituted a payment of the materialmen's claims.

Michigan Law Review
A wife was convicted of larceny of her husband's property. Upon appeal from an order denying a new trial, held that the order be reversed: The Married Woman's Act, reading, "every married woman shall receive the same protection of all her rights as a woman which her husband does as a man," does not so change the common law unity of spouses that a wife stealing from her husband is included under the comprehensive terms of the larceny statute. State v. Arnold, 182 Minn. 313, 235 N.W. 373 (1931).
Transfer Of Future Interests, W. Lewis Roberts
Transfer Of Future Interests, W. Lewis Roberts
Michigan Law Review
In considering to what extent future interests are transferable in this country it is proposed to limit the investigation to those future interests known as contingent remainders, executory devises, and defeasible vested remainders. It has not been deemed necessary to consider vested remainders as they have long been treated by the law in much the same way as present estates have been as far as alienation is concerned.
