of his bulb was also prndeoed. Mr. Weltoo read an
extract from Csiliy ow Contracts, page 143, to prove

wets necessaries, insernoch as he could not carry on his
business or earn • living without them. He thole read
extradite from letters received from defendant in support

defence to set up, but be mold only act in aooordanse
with the law, &wording to which " neosmori•s" meant
clothes, lodgings meat, and drink. Plaintiff said he
found that the gOols which be hod supplied to defend-
ant had been sold under a bill of sale given by defend.
ant to his father, although when defendant had the
goods in October last he slated that they were for
I immediate use, and that he hod a customer waiting
their arrival. He thought it a very hard case that he
had reeeived no notate of the bill of sale, and that
