Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Arnett v. Reade — Opinion of the Court
“ The supreme court does not put its decision upon that ground, but upon the notion that, during the joint lives, the husband was in substance the owner, the wife having a mere expectancy, and that the old saying was ture, that community is a partnership which begins only at its end. ”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Arnett v. Reade — Opinion of the Court
“ It is not necessary to go very deeply into the precise nature of the wife's interest during marriage. The discussion has fed the flame of juridical controversy for many years. The notion that the husband is the true owner is said to represent the tendency of the French customs. ”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Arnett v. Reade — Opinion of the Court
“ Rep. 224, of some of the passages and dicta from authors and cases most relied upon by the court below, we think it plain that there was no intent in that decision to deny or qualify the expression quoted from Warburton v. White. See 204 U.S. 78. Los bienes que han marido y mujer que son de ambos por medio. ”
