Abstract
Plaintiff, an automobile guest resident in Wisconsin, brought action against the driver for personal injuries sustained in Illinois through the driver's negligence. After commencement of the action but before trial the parties intermarried. Held, that by the law of Illinois the cause of action was extinguished because of the legal unity of husband and wife, that the law governing the creation and extent of defendant's liability was the law of Illinois, and the cause of action therefore abated. Buckeye v. Buckeye (Wis. 1931) 234 N.W. 342.
