§ 2004. Husband and wife-Torts.-The husband was at common law liable for his wife's torts, and he alone, or they jointly, were so liable according to the circumstances, in general, of his control or coercion, or otherwise. But a recovery cannot be had against a husband, in the absence of his coercion or instigation to the act, for damage occasioned by his wife's causing a dog to bite a child. Nor can a recovery be had against a husband for slanderous utterances of his wife where he had no knowledge thereof; nor can a wife make her husband liable for damages, by instituting a criminal proceeding in his name, even though she has charge of the home and the general management of his affairs in his absence.
